So, my hobbies are...

Drawing on my Ipad

Before I started studying NMD one of my free time things to do was to draw different things on my Ipad Pro with the Apple pencil (or just by pen and paper). My muse is a friend and former coworker of mine who is a wonderful photographer who takes amazing photos of animals and nature. I have painted some of her photo objects in Procreate on the Ipad. Sadly my work as a nurse at the time took away a lot of energy and my creativity suffered. That is when an idea started forming of taking a break from nursing to educate myself in something more creative.

Exercise

I have never been the sporty type, but I feel much better not just physically but also mentally when I exercise on a regular basis. That goes in cycles for me though so sometimes I exercise like two to three times a week and sometimes it can be months in between. For me exercise is mostly individual, I don´t often participate in team sports. I like to take powerwalks and/or run outside and going to the gym. I also go to yoga classes which do wonders for my breathing and stiff back. Anything about boxing and kickboxing seems so much fun, but I don´t go to any class. But I have a punching bag and boxing gloves at home.

Music and travel

Me and my living partner loves music, we have some musical tastes in common and like to travel and attend music festivals and concerts all over the world. My taste in music is kind of broad, so I listen to all kinds of music. What I absolutely do not listen to is swedish "schlager" music or swedish dance band music (dansbandsmusik). As I mentioned earlier I also love to travel, both short and long trips. I very much enjoy seeing new places and experience different cultures. We have been to different parts of Scandinavia, Europe, USA, Australia, Africa and South Asia.
