Singing, Reading, Swimming and Hiking

I am a passionate singer and I love it, I sing in a church choir, I did lot of singing in the choir in my school days up to College. 

I take time to read when I have time but recently I have been reading more on the leadership skills, I am involve in an adventure club where we upskill kids in progressive classes( I am a teacher) in my church.

Swimming is a hobby that I discovered lately when I  decided to conquer my fear of water. Loving it when I see my kids enjoying all the splashes, I then decided to take lessons and still on the journey.

Hiking is my pride and joy, I have been to Cradle stone, Hennops, Klieprivier and Drakensberg.
