Interests
I come alive when I’m exploring something new – whether it's a fresh experience or an unfamiliar place. Change fuels me, and I find myself restless when my days feel too predictable or routine. I’m drawn to the thrill of a good mystery series – whether it’s on the page or the screen and I’m never far from the outdoors, soaking up the solitude or sharing the moment with great company.
​
I have a soft spot for DIY projects, beach walks, and journaling at cosy coffee shops, where the world slows down for a bit. Vintage cinema screenings, movie nights, and themed parties are some of my favorite ways to celebrate the joy in life’s little pleasures. To put it simply, I’m someone who finds beauty in the details, and I’m always open to discovering more of what sparks joy and creativity in the world.
