I immensely enjoy being outdoors, and am always up for an adventure. I like exploring new territories, areas, cities and cultures. I am a people's person, and my empathy & compassion makes it easy for me to communicate with people from all walks of life. I am also a huge music lover. In my free time, I either paint, draw or create digital artwork on my computer. Running makes me feel alive, and I love boxing as a sport. I take pictures everywhere I go, it's been a hobby of mine ever since I was a teenager. I collect memories and create visual diaries as I go through life.
