When I’m off campus and away from studying or my part-time job, I’m usually following whatever sparks my curiosity. In my downtime, you’ll find me exploring new places, taking photos, playing music, or diving into something new — whether it’s reading, journaling, or picking up a random skill just for the fun of it.
One of those spontaneous moments happened last summer, when I randomly decided to learn WordPress. After a lot of trial and error (and a few too many Youtube tutorials), I ended up building the very website you’re looking at now.
Most of these hobbies started from a random spark, sometimes inspired by someone else’s story, sometimes just out of nowhere.

Traveling is one of my favourite hobbies, even though I haven’t done it as much as I’d like. Solo travel, especially, was something I never thought I’d end up doing. But life has a funny way of surprising you.
In May 2024, I spent 18 days exploring Barcelona, Croatia, and Belgium. It was an incredible experience. Then in June 2025, I set off again, this time to Austria, Poland, and Czechia. I spent 11 days wandering through cities, often stuck in what I now call “decision paralysis” which, honestly, just feels like a normal part of solo travel.
This hobby naturally blends with my love for photography. It’s a big part of why I can easily spend hours in one spot, trying to capture that perfect shot — sometimes way too long, but always worth it.
Music
It all started when I watched my brother perform at a university gig. The crowd was chanting his name, and the energy was unreal. I remember thinking, “If only I could be that talented.” He showed me the basics, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I started learning through YouTube tutorials and just kept going. Seven years later, I’m still playing — and still loving it.
Here’s a fun twist. When I first moved to the UK, I had to quarantine for 10 days. I brought a ukulele with me, and with nothing else to do, I ended up learning how to play it.
