Reading, travelling, gardening, music
"I enjoy reading motivational books that offer fresh perspectives and inspire personal growth. Exploring different places, engaging with diverse people, and experiencing new things excite me.
Gardening is my way to relax. I love planting vegetables and flowers, appreciating the colors they bring to life. Watching something grow from a simple seed into a thriving plant is truly fulfilling.
Music is essential to me. I appreciate all genres as long as they make me feel good. I find it impossible to work without music playing in the background—it keeps me focused and energized."
