Describe your perfect day outside of work
My perfect day outside of work starts with waking up at a beachside campsite and heading straight out for a morning surf. After a long session in the water, I’d enjoy a relaxed brunch with friends before paddling back out for an afternoon surf. As the sun sets, I’d share dinner with friends and family, then wind down with card or board games until bedtime.
