Hobbies
Outside of work, these are some things that I enjoy doing in my free time.
Adventuring
A lot of my peers say that I have an ‘adventurous spirit’. I’d say I’m a curious person who likes to explore. From mountaineering, to a multi-day solo motorcycle road trip with no itinerary, to diving, I enjoy doing things that put me out of my comfort zone that I know are within my reach if I set my mind to it.
Endurance Sports
This is a wide encompassing definition as I used to partake in half marathons, Obstacle Course Races, and martial arts. Recently, I completed the Spartan Race Trifecta (5km, 10km, and 21km Obstacle Course Races) in 2019, and practiced Wing Chun before the pandemic. What I enjoy about endurance sports is the need for mental resilience, mastery in the craft, and the physical challenge. Nowadays, I usually do a 10km urban and trail run, sometimes with a weighted vest, bodyweight exercises, and yoga to maintain a well-rounded workout regime. I hope to take part in a marathon and a triathlon when we are able to do so again.
Cooking
While the frequency in cooking comes and goes for me, I have been spending more time in the kitchen lately mainly due to a new found interest in gastronomical experimentation and wanting to understand the underlying processes to everyday cooking methods. Many times, the research process leads me down a rabbit hole that involves learning about culture, history, and language, which is a nice bonus.
