Reading , yoga , photography, traveling , learning new languages.

In my free time, I enjoy reading and playing the piano. These two activities allow me to disconnect from my daily routine. On the other hand, yoga is a part of my everyday life because it relieves stress and keeps me energetic, motivated, and concentrated. Another of my passions is traveling. I am fascinated by learning about new cultures, and that's why I enjoy learning new languages since language allows us to understand things from the perspective of other cultures.
