Hobbies and Interests

In free time I discover new music and expand my vinyl records collection. Since "A reader lives a thousand lives", if not listening to any LPs, I spend time reading. When outdoors I feed my curiosity and explorer’s element during hikes, road trips and camping. I capture them on digital and analogue photographs.
