“I look at nature as a form of escape. I use it to enjoy time to myself and help me relax away from all the stressors in my life. Beautiful surroundings, in particular forest areas and lakes, make me feel connected with nature – as though I can blend in, welcomed and unjudged. I love walking and dancing around the space and sounds of nature and enjoy just living in the moment.”
