I enjoy playing video games, as they offer a unique blend of entertainment and strategic challenges. Cooking and hosting are also dear to me, allowing me to express my creativity in the kitchen and bring people together through delicious meals and warm hospitality. Additionally, I have a keen interest in videography and photography, which enable me to capture life's precious moments and explore the world through a lens.
