Just took up Mountain Biking! Not the best at it but loving learning something new


I finally decided to learn to play the guitar about a year ago. I was gifted a classical guitar on my 19th birthday by father, and for 22 years I brought that guitar with me to each new place I lived, where it sat in a corner unused.  I was always intimidated to learn, and as time went by I thought I was much too old to learn an instrument in my 40’s, but then I realized I wasn’t trying to become a rock star, just wanted to learn for my own enjoyment. I find it both challenging and relaxing! 


Hi @KylaPaulsen, that's fantastic! It's never too late to pick up a new skill, and it's wonderful to hear that you're enjoying the guitar for your own pleasure. Embracing challenges while finding relaxation is such a rewarding experience!


Spending time in my workshop making useful gifts for people - especially ones that involve probably my favorite thing to do - BBQ!


I love to see sport. It does not matter what kind off sport it is. But my most favorit is football also to play it by myself


I like to play cricket, its a fun game :) 


Channeling my inner Salt Bae, I love adding that final touch to a homemade tiramisu – it’s my favorite way to blend creativity and flavor in the kitchen

 


I love cooking 😁. If I was not in MR field so I was definitely be a chef or had my own restaurant 😉. I wish I will have my own restaurant someday. 🤞🏻😊

I love this idea! What kind of food will your restaurant serve? 🍽️

I’m sure, all Indian food @Michael_Cooksey 🤗. Here is the small glimpse of my cooking. 😉

 


I think it’s really cool that there are still new posts to read and it’s almost the end of September😃


with a full time job, a family and regular visits to the gym I don’t have much time for much else. But, whenever I can I love taking our dog Nuka 🐶 out for long walks after dinner. After growing up with dogs I did not have a dog in my life for many, many years. Rediscovering #mansbestfriend 💜 has been wonderful:

📣learning to communicate, not only how she grew to understand us but we also got to understand her

🤗human centric, how happy she always is to see us again and again and again

🌐network builder, she’s a reliable conversation starter when meeting other dog owners on our walks  

 


One of my favorite hobbies is hiking/backpacking. 

 


In my free time, I enjoy sketching and drawing. This helps me relax and to stay calm. I also enjoy going for walk, jogging, and being alone. Below are some of my recent drawings:
