Hobbies
Traveling has not only been something that I do, but it has been something that has become a part of me. I have this passion to travel. I haven't been across the globe; but, I've had my share of travel and it's only the beginning. When I get stuck on a consistent routine, I get an itch to pack up my bags and go somewhere spontaneous. Exposure to new environments is fulfilling and educational. Traveling (to 35+ countries) took me out of my comfort zone and it allows me to communicate to natives with different religious beliefs, cultures and ethnicities.
