My stress relievers...

Reading

I absolutely love reading. The brain bridges new connections and create new ideas whenever you're reading - that fascinates me.

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." -  George R R Martin

 

Travelling

I'm big on traveling. Exploring the vast world out there shows just how small we are & how much is left that we haven't explored or seen with our own eyes yet. Not to mention that it inspires me to try new things and in turn boosts my morale.
