Hobbies
- ART - As a hobby, I like drawing with pen/pencil and I later use a drawing tablet to improve the piece depending on its caliber.
- BIKING - Together with my friends, I go on adventures and discover new things. Biking adventures are memorable and give me a chance to learn more about my city and its locations.
- GAMING - When I'm free, I love to game. I play a wide range of games, both singleplayer and multiplayer, that challenge me and give me inspiration for future drawings or games I may create. In the future I would like to work as a game designer.
- ROCK HOUNDING - Having this hobby is my most unique passion. During my travels, I collected rocks from all types of climates and places, then tagged them to display. Over the years, I have collected an array of colorful stones.
- EXPLORING - The exploration of the world is very entertaining to me. It is a natural extension of my biking. Being in a place you've never seen before and realizing you could have reached it all along is one of my favorite feelings.
- CREATIVE WRITING - Having the opportunity to write poetry or autobiographical stories gives me the opportunity to express myself. In my pieces, I use imagery, which makes them very pastel and gives you the impression of being present in the story.
