Hobbies

In my free time, I love staying active and exploring new interests. Padel and paddle boarding are two of my favorite ways to enjoy the outdoors—padel for its fast-paced, social nature, and paddle boarding for the calm and scenic escape it offers on the water. When I’m not out playing sports, I enjoy getting creative in the kitchen by trying new recipes.
