Too many to name all, but I love spending time in nature and everything active. I mostly run, do CrossFit, wakeboard, snowboard, kitesurf.


I enjoy cooking. Obsessed with Pizza, all the different styles and ways of cooking it, as well as sharing with friends. Love to geek about food from all around the world or shake a few cocktails.


I constantly fail miserably when making deserts though.
