In my free time, I enjoy cooking international cuisines, with a particular focus on Asian, Italian, and African dishes. I also love listening to audiobooks or listening to classical music during my commute. A fun fact about me is that, as a kid, I taught myself how to use chopsticks and used chopsticks for a whole year instead of using western utensils.
