Hobbies: Dancing and Travelling

As a full-time career mother and wife, for me, it is always important to set a side "Me-Time" during my free time. Dancing is a fantastic hobby that offers a wide range of physical, mental, and social benefits. Dancing is a great way to stay in shape. It helps improve cardiovascular health, flexibility, strength, and coordination. Depending on the intensity of the dance style, it can also be a good form of aerobic exercise. 


Lastly, who does not love to travel, to be adventurous and explore different cultures which is why travelling is an enriching hobby that offers a variety of experiences.  Travelling with families, and friends and even doing several SOLO travelling, each of these experiences always varies and has its challenges. To reach its destination yes it is easy. However, there are many other planning involving budgeting, transportation, accommodations and Itineraries to be all well organized and planned before a trip. Who you go with and where you go to, it has to be catered to suit the package.
