Affiliations

I enjoy going to the gym to maintain my physical fitness and energy levels. Travelling to new places is something I value, as it gives me fresh perspectives and experiences. I also take pride in doing maintenance work, including handyman jobs and gardening, which allow me to stay hands-on, solve problems, and keep busy with practical tasks.
