I enjoy reading because it allows me to escape into different worlds and gain new perspectives, I read the Lord of the Rings once a year. Writing is another passion of mine; it offers a creative outlet where I can express my thoughts and ideas, I have kept diaries since my childhood. Painting and drawing are incredibly fulfilling for me because they provide a means to channel my emotions into art. I have a particular fondness for surrealism, as it allows me to explore the depths of my imagination and express my thoughts in unique and thought-provoking ways. I love cooking and baking, as preparing delicious meals brings joy to myself and others, I come from a huge family so it makes sense. Gardening is a deeply rewarding hobby that allows me to connect with nature and experience a profound sense of tranquility. The process of nurturing plants and watching them grow brings me immense joy and peace. If I could choose, I would love to live in a rainforest, surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and the symphony of nature’s sounds. I spent a significant amount of time in Panama, and being close to the rainforest was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Photography serves as a meaningful way for me to capture precious moments, allowing me to hold on to the beautiful experiences I've had. Traveling has broadened my horizons and exposed me to new cultures, enriching my life in countless ways. I feel fortunate to have lived in over 15 different countries and traveled to many more, and my photography is a vital part of how I remember these incredible experiences. Practicing yoga and meditation brings me a profound sense of peace and plays a crucial role in helping me manage stress. I have been practicing yoga since I was six years old, and the benefits I have gained over the years are truly limitless.
