In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, as it helps me stay active and feel energised. I also love reading because it allows me to relax, reflect, and discover new ideas and perspectives. Cooking is another hobby I truly enjoy; I like experimenting with different recipes and preparing meals for myself and my family. These activities help me maintain a healthy balance between body and mind.
