Hi everyone. My name is Maria, and I’m staying in Colombia. Wow, it’s such a treat for me to write a blog about my life outside of work. Throughout the blog, you’ll realize how much I enjoy several activities, as they bring a lot of joy to my life. But before we get there, I would like to give a HUGE shoutout to Job Duck!
Since I started my career with this incredible company, and as time went on, I’ve realized how my life has changed in the sense of achieving (what we all seek) – that ideal balance between work and life. This balance has allowed me to spend quality time with my family – and my five pets – while I also get the opportunity for self-care, personal growth, and to enjoy my hobbies.
But I don’t want to spill all the beans in the introduction, haha! Allow me to take a couple of minutes of your time to walk you through my life beyond the desk:
Walks with Benji
I want you to meet Benji, my crazy but cute Golden Retriever. With his turtle backpack, he is always ready for action.
Thus, Benji and I love taking peaceful strolls in the local park, neighborhood, or places with beautiful views.
There’s something so relaxing about these walks. I would definitely consider them one of my favorite activities.
Coffee Shop Adventures
Let’s move on to my coffee shop adventures. Have you noticed how each coffee shop is uniquely decorated? I love it!
When I visit a coffee shop, I enjoy eating a croissant or trying different flavors of delicious desserts and dishes.
And of course, I’m there to drink a perfectly brewed cup of coffee! Moreover, coffee shops are the ideal places to catch up on the latest news with my parents or friends.
Traveling
Whenever possible, I take advantage of my remote job to explore new places within my country.
Traveling is a passion of mine, and I appreciate the opportunity to experience different parts of my country, meet new people, live life, and do what I love most.
Reading Time
As much as I enjoy an adventurous life, I find curling up with my cats while reading a good book to be a peaceful way to savor the simple pleasures of home.
Furthermore, the books I read tend to hold valuable lessons for personal growth. I find that life is short, and we should make each minute count.
Drawing and Sketching
One of my favorite hobbies is drawing. Ironically, I do not draw often, but I’m definitely getting back into the groove.
Lately, I am giving myself time to sketch or draw in a journal. I find it extremely satisfying to express my creativity by drawing the scenes I capture from daily life or something I see on social media.
Meditation and Exercise
Through my adventures, lessons, and hobbies, I follow a daily meditation routine. This allows me to feel grateful and have a better mood. Sometimes, I also follow a fitness routine to stay active and balanced. My physical and mental well-being is a priority.
Socializing with Friends
My friends are always there when I need company for a meal, chat, or outdoor activities.
We’ve created quite a few memories and will continue to do so! They play a huge role in my overall happiness, and I’m truly grateful for them.
Thank you, Job Duck!
