In terms of health & wellbeing, what is the best thing you have ever invested in?
Getting a mountain bike was a transformative decision for me, as it provides an excellent outlet for stress relief. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I can escape into nature, where the fresh air and challenging trails help clear my mind.

Fixing something and restoring it to its original state brings me immense joy, as it allows me to engage my problem-solving skills and creativity. Whether it's mending a broken piece of furniture or repairing a gadget, the process gives me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Being consistent in my training while effectively managing and recovering from my injuries has been one of my most meaningful accomplishments. This journey has taught me resilience and discipline, highlighting the importance of perseverance and self-care in achieving my goals.
