My Interests
We both love surfing, yoga, trekking, playing sports (beach volleyball is the best!), reading, card games and of course, traveling! Jay is also a musician who plays drums, guitar and piano. Some coffee or mate and good conversation is always enjoyable as well. We have many hobbies and interests and are always eager to learn and try something new!
