When I’m not buried in books or knee-deep in work, you’ll likely find me chasing whatever sparks my curiosity and keeps life interesting. In my downtime, I’m off exploring new places, capturing moments through my lens, jamming out to my favorite tunes, or attempting to read, journal, or pick up new skills. Just like this past summer when I stumbled into learning WordPress—and after a series of trials and errors, I ended up creating this very website you’re looking at right now.
Here’s the deal: Most of these hobbies have their own quirky backstory, often sparked by someone else’s story or personality. Scroll down to get a quick glimpse of how it started… and how it’s going!

Traveling is definitely one of my favorite things, though I haven’t done nearly as much as I would like. This past May, I finally took the plunge with my first real solo adventure—18 days across Barcelona, Croatia, and Belgium. It was a whirlwind of decision paralysis, unexpected adventures, and a steep learning curve.
Then came Turkey—a 10-day trip where I got to experience paragliding and scuba diving for the first time. Let’s just say, the thrill had me so hyped I almost joined the skydiving society at university… if only funding wasn’t holding me back!

It all started when I saw my brother play at a university gig. The crowd was chanting his name—it was such an epic moment that right then and there, I thought, “I want to do that.” He taught me the basics, and from that point on, I was hooked. I dove headfirst into learning on my own, mostly through YouTube tutorials. Seven years later, I’m still strumming away.
Now, here’s a fun twist: When I moved to the UK, I had to quarantine for 10 days. I brought a ukulele with me, and with nothing but time on my hands, I learned how to play it. Those 10 days of isolation turned into a full-on jam sessions.
