"I go home and put on some great music, pour myself a glass of wine, and get to cooking. That, or I go for a bike ride and sit in a park somewhere and read a good book. Or, I go on a photo journey somewhere, like a walk in the woods and embrace nature. But I don't get stressed out that often. Quality of life is very important to me. How about you? How do you like to spend your spare time?"
