Music is definitely one of my passions. I listen to a wide variety of genres and am always looking (well, listening) for something new! I am especially intrigued by bands that successfully combine multiple genres and manage to create a new, unique sound.

I love going to concerts and hearing live music.

I recently started experimenting with cooking. Baking is my favorite, but maybe that's because I get to eat the batter! I love trying out international dishes too. It's like taking a vacation without leaving your home when you enjoy a meal that was inspired by foods that are commonly combined in other countries.

Travelling has been one of my passions since I was very young. I have been so lucky to be able to travel to so many countries and visit amazing historical sites. Of the monuments that I have seen, the Eiffel Tower is certainly my favorite. It is a masterpiece that was developed by combining genius engineering and creativity.

I love photography. I especially enjoy taking photos of plants and animals because the beauty of nature inspires me.

Ever since I learned to read, I have been a bit of a book worm. My favorite genre is science fiction and fantasy, but I will read just about anything! Some of my favorites are:

• A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
• The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien
• The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin
• The First Law by Joe Abercrombie
• The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin
