Personal life
Personal life
Outside of my academic pursuits, I enjoy a variety of activities that keep me both active and creative. I love playing soccer, which allows me to stay physically fit and connected with others. Music is also a passion of mine, and I spend time playing the guitar as a way to relax and express myself. Reading is another favorite pastime, helping me expand my knowledge and immerse myself in new ideas. I also enjoy outdoor activities, traveling to new places, and exploring different cultures, which provide a refreshing change of pace. Additionally, I enjoy video games, offering a fun way to unwind and engage with interactive storytelling.
