Hobbies and Interests

I have a few hobbies that keep me entertained and, well, sane! Reading is one of my favourite pastimes, and I picked it up during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ever since then, I've been hooked—it's like discovering a whole new world every time I open a book.

Traveling is another passion of mine. It's always fun, especially when you're with people you love. The experiences, the places, the food—it's all part of the adventure. Plus, who doesn't love a good trip to break the monotony?

Now, let's talk about my "hidden" talent: sketching. I started sketching during the lockdown, got a bit obsessed, and now I just sketch for fun. But don't get me wrong—I'm not exactly the next Picasso. I need references to make anything decent, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

Oh, and sleeping—let's not forget sleeping. It's a hobby, right? I'm pretty good at it, if I do say so myself.

Spending time with my parents is something I really cherish (though shh, don't tell them I miss them!). Life's pretty much a mix of these things for me, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
