Hiking, Skiing, travelling
I usually go skiing in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. I am not an expert yet as I am still learning. I love hiking in the Mountains in the summer, the recent mountain I went to was Nevado de Toluca in Mexico, not so far from where I reside. Travelling to other parts of the world and experiencing the culture ( modern and ancient), languages and food happens around once to twice a year.
