I enjoy a variety of activities that keep me engaged both mentally and physically. Innovation drives my curiosity, as I love exploring new technologies and creative solutions. Traveling allows me to experience different cultures and landscapes, broadening my perspective. Reading is a constant hobby, as I enjoy diving into books that enhance my knowledge across a range of topics. Soccer is my go-to sport for staying active and connected with friends, while hiking and swimming provide a great way to connect with nature and maintain physical fitness. Additionally, I find gaming to be a fun way to unwind and challenge myself in virtual environments. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is another passion of mine, as it helps me improve discipline, focus, and problem-solving skills, both on and off the mat.
