Reading, Travelling,Dancing, Music, Cooking and Volunteering
I enjoying reading, because it educates and enlightens me on the values and ways of life of other people's history, culture, languages and music. I like to read autobiography of men and women that have contributed and impacted history of humanity. Reading motivates me to travel to discover sight and sounds of different countries when I have the opportunity,It also helps me to build my faith to understand the essence of my being. This encourages me to want to always volunteer whenever I have the privilege to give back to the community.
Dancing and the music are therapeutic time to relax inhale and exhale. I enjoy to cooking and experiment new recipe from other culture to enhance my taste bud.
