Photography, Animals, Nature, Training and Nutrition, Acting
My main hobby when teenager was photography, which I still love, I usually go around with my camera! Animals and nature were and are vital part of my life and give me another view of life and time to breath from the daily activities. Training and nutrition became more and more important since I turned my professional interest to massage therapy and helping people to heal themselves, as the wellness and general healing only works if all goes better together. Since child I loved acting and I keep my interest in theater as in events in general.
