Interests
Learning new languages, creating art, singing and photography
I like learning new skills and recently I have been interested in exploring different languages as they help me explore new cultures around the world. I started learning Spanish online, through media and music. I generally spend my weekends focusing on exploring new Spanish words and watching Spanish movies and telenovelas to strengthen my grasp over the language.
I like spending time in nature and capture all the wonderful moments of beauty with my camera. I have been doing nature photography since I was in school, and find it as a great stress reliever.
