Playing drums and bass guitar, Wildlife conservation and nature exploration, Aviation enthusiast

I've been playing music for 8 years, starting with the drums and later picking up the bass guitar. I’ve always had a deep appreciation for rhythm and melody, and these instruments allow me to express that creatively. This also helps me unwind and stay focused

My love for nature and wildlife conservation began when I was young. I’ve always felt a deep connection to animals and the environment, and I believe in the importance of Environmental challenges, preserving our ecosystems for future generations.

I became passionate about Aviation during university, the complexity, technicality and technology that goes into planes amaze me. Being an aviation enthusiast has taught me the value of precision, innovation, and the importance of safety
