reading books, photography, writing, learning new language, travelling
In my free time, I love reading books on spirituality, biography, philosophy and romantic fiction. I am not a trained photographer, however, I am fascinated about taking photos indoors, outdoors, and specially while travelling. Whenever I am nostalgic, sad, or angry, I pour out my feelings through words and keep them private. Lately, I am fond of learning Spanish for fun.
