What do you like to do in your spare time?

"I love to hike and cycle all over the South Rim and inner canyon of the Grand Canyon while doing plenty of nature walks, identifying native plants and watching sunsets from my two favorite places – The Abyss and Maricopa Point. On top of that, hiking down to Phantom Ranch and camping is also one of my favorite things to do. Not to mention, backpacking in the backcountry is super challenging and opens your mind to things you never knew you were capable of."
