Hobbies:

I have a deep passion for long-distance running, which has been a significant part of my life. I appreciate the physical and mental challenge that running provides, as it helps me stay focused, disciplined, and resilient. Whether it’s training for a race or simply going for a long run, I find peace and satisfaction in the rhythm and the sense of accomplishment it brings.

In addition to running, I have a keen interest in outdoor activities. I enjoy exploring nature, whether through hiking, camping, or just spending time outdoors. Outdoor activities give me a sense of adventure and allow me to connect with nature, offering a healthy balance to my busy life.

Sewing is another creative outlet I enjoy. I find it relaxing and fulfilling, whether I’m creating something from scratch or altering pieces. It’s a hobby that allows me to express my creativity while also being practical. The process of designing and bringing ideas to life through sewing is both calming and rewarding.

These activities, whether physical, creative, or exploratory, help me maintain a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. They allow me to stay active, explore new places, express creativity, and take time to relax and recharge.
