I love to travel and explore new cities, particularly within Europe. Cant live without my kindle as I am an avid reader. Love doing jigsaw puzzles on my free time as they shut me off from the world and work as my meditation. Very much into a healthy lifestyle and try to live as close to a macrobiotic way of living as possible.
