I enjoy hiking in the mountains on weekends,
reading science fiction novels before bed,
cooking new recipes from different cultures,
playing chess with friends,

Photography has become a recent passion of mine, especially capturing landscapes and street scenes.
I also like to meditate in the mornings and practice yoga to stay centered.
