Art and Outdoor activities
I love the beauty and creativity in art. Art challenges the way i think, it offers new perspective on things. It's like visual story that helps me understand societies, beliefs, and individuals. There is a real sense of accomplishment that comes with hiking. A challenging hike is so rewarding once you've made it.
