Photography

Since the summer of 2021, I have developed a great interest in taking photos of wildlife and landscapes. While I do not have any specialized equipment such as a camera, I have made due with my smartphone's camera. I recently created a photography account on Instagram to share my work and inspire other amateur photographers like myself.

Snorkeling

In July 2022, I took up snorkeling as a new hobby so I went on a snorkeling tour in La Jolla, CA. Being immersed in crystal clear seawater and surrounded by a variety of sea life made an impact on me. Before I knew it, I was buying my own wetsuit, fins, googles, and snorkel so I could explore the waters of La Jolla myself. I have swam with fish, crustaceans, sea lions, stingrays, and even sharks while maintaining a safe distance from the animals.
