AWAY FROM THE DESK
OUTDOOR ADVENTURING.
I love exploring in my campervan, hitting the trails on my mountain bike, hiking or SUPing to hidden beaches, noodling around on my guitar, playing tennis, cooking something wholesome and checking out some live music. Or, if I'm very lucky, skiing in powder snow.
