My main hobby these days is metal detecting. I used to play tennis and badminton but once I got my first metal detector, I was totally hooked! On weekends, you can usually find me out detecting from 8:00 until 16:00. I always bring snacks because I can't eat breakfast since I was diagnosed with...

Did you travel to Central America? If so, how did it go? I travel often for work, mostly around Europe and Eastern Europe. Two years ago, when I was traveling in Moldova, I got stopped at the airport in Chisinau. They checked my arm, where I had a Freestyle Libre sensor. Everything checked out...
