Travel, Wild Swimming, Walking, Family time, Foodie

My travels are always kept within my work holiday periods. I love  to experience different countries, the people, their cultures and food.

My big passion is experiencing nature in all its natural form and beauty. I'm always out walking the dog in the forest, or at the beach. I love wild swimming and exploring the countryside. Very spontaneous, I just get up and decide on a journey that morning. Family time is also very important to me, spending quality and laughing with the family is just the best.
