Travel, Swimming, Exploring new places, Art therapy

Travel, Swimming, Exploring new places, Art therapy

I love to travel because it makes you fall in love with your life,I love to travel because it gives a sense of adventure and freedom. It allows us to get away from "normal" life, experience other cultures, to get to know places we have only seen in movies. We get to try new food and meet new people.


Swimming is a great way to enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and water all at the same time.


Art therapy is something I practice and help people sometimes with online sessions to reach their true color and release pain through colors.
