  • During my days off, I love to take leisurely walks in the park or along the beach, immersing myself in the beauty of nature. I'm a bit of a homebody and find joy in watching captivating series and experimenting with new recipes in my cozy kitchen. Music is an integral part of my life, and I often find solace in playing the piano during my free time.
