Going it Italy. As a family we drove all over the country visiting Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan. I’m Italian myself and have always loved the Italian food. The warm weather and spectacular views make it one of my favourite travel spots.

During Covid I’ve spent loads of time shooting pucks in my basement and working on my skill. As well as it gave me more time to play the piano and read.
