I have always been drawn to the beauty of the natural world, and as such I find myself spending an inordinate amount of time outdoors. In fact, I often get lost in the wilderness for hours on end, so absorbed by the sights and sounds that I forget about everything else.

My love affair with nature began when I was a young child, growing up surrounded by the lush forests and rolling hills of the countryside. My parents would take me on long walks through the woods, pointing out different types of flora and fauna along the way. It wasn't long before I developed a deep appreciation for all things green.

As I got older, my love of nature only grew stronger. I began to explore further afield, hiking in the mountains and camping by the lake. There's something about being surrounded by the sights and sounds of the great outdoors that makes me feel truly alive.

But despite my love of nature, I am also a bit of a city girl at heart. I love nothing more than getting lost in the hustle and bustle of urban life, discovering new restaurants and bars and exploring all the hidden gems that only reveal themselves to those who know where to look.

And then there's art. Oh, how I adore art! Not just the visual kind - although I do have a certain fondness for modern abstracts - but music, dance, literature... anything that speaks to the soul on a deep level. There's something about the raw emotion and passion that goes into creating true works
