Nature and animals

1. Do you like spending time in nature?

Yes, I absolutely love it. Whenever I feel stressed or mentally drained, I’ll go for a long walk by the river or in a nearby forest. Being surrounded by trees and fresh air really clears my head and helps me switch off from technology. To be honest, I feel much more grounded and energetic after just an hour outside.

2. Do you have any pets, or did you have any as a child?

Right now I don’t have any pets, but when I was a child we had a very cheeky cat called Coco. She used to hide under the sofa and jump out at people’s feet, which terrified my grandma. Looking back, caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, like feeding her on time and keeping her litter box clean.

3. Are there many parks or green spaces where you live?

Yes, I’m quite lucky in that sense. There’s a big public park about ten minutes from my house, with a jogging track, a small lake and even an outdoor gym. On weekends it’s packed with families having picnics and kids riding bikes. It gives the neighbourhood a really relaxed, community-focused atmosphere.

4. Do you think it is important to protect wild animals?

Definitely, I’d say it’s crucial. Wild animals play a key role in keeping ecosystems in balance, so if one species disappears, it can have a ripple effect on everything else. Besides, they’re part of our natural heritage, and future generations deserve to see them in real life, not just in documentaries. So stricter laws and proper conservation programmes are really necessary.
