Hobbies
My hobbies span a wide spectrum, from immersing myself in the tranquility of bushwalking to the adrenaline rush of motocross. In my garden, I cultivate a vibrant array of plants, showcasing my green thumb skills. When I'm not tending to my garden or hitting the trails, you can find me in my studio, sculpting and painting. Drawing is another passion of mine, allowing me to capture moments and express my creativity with a simple pencil. Each hobby offers its own unique satisfaction and keeps me engaged in different ways.
