hiking, baking, gardening

I love spending time outdoors, whether it's exploring new trails or simply immersing myself in nature, which also serves as a great form of exercise. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about being in the natural world. I also take great pleasure in growing things that I can use regularly, from herbs to vegetables—it’s rewarding to see the fruits of my labor thrive. Baking brings me even more joy; the process of creating something delicious from scratch and sharing it with others is truly satisfying.
