Puzzle, Horse Riding, Cycling, Walking, Traveling

I have a strong appreciation for activities that require both focus and movement. Solving puzzles helps me sharpen my attention to detail and analytical thinking, which I often apply in my professional work. Horseback riding has taught me discipline and balance, while cycling and walking allow me to clear my mind and stay energized. Traveling is my way of expanding perspectives — I enjoy discovering new cultures, systems, and ways of thinking, which continually fuels my creativity and adaptability.
