Travelling, reading, driving fast cars
- I enjoy reading spiritual literature as it keeps me grounded and connected. I also enjoy inspirational pieces that make me see life in the eyes of a total stranger, who I find myself relating to and many times aspiring to become.
- I love travelling because it opens my eyes to new experiences, embracing and learning different cultures. It rejuvenates me and is a time that I take out to relax, reboot, refocus, reinvent and re-envision my life.
- My love for fast cars comes from my background of being an only girl among 3 boys growing up in a household where the coolest conversations were not about Barbie dolls and doll houses but rather around the latest cars, engine power and the need for speed. This generated a passion to know more about cars and experience the exhilaration of speed, it makes me feel empowered and unstoppable. As a result I am very competitive but totally fun to be around.
