I'm a travel junkie! Exploring different cities, soaking in natural wonders, and diving into new cultures give me a thrill. These adventures help me challenge my biases – because, hey, life's all about breaking out of those mental boxes. Traveling feels a lot like my first deep dive into the internet – full of surprises and excitement. I can't get enough of it!

Reading 📚
I can't stand bookworms or studying just to ace exams. My reading tastes are pretty wide-ranging. I used to love novels, literature, biographies, and history books, but now I'm all about history, finance, economics, tech, and non-fiction bestsellers. I've been hooked on financial magazines for years and now get a kick out of world-class news with deep, objective reporting.
Books I read in the 1st half of 2024(purchased from 3 countries), all worth reading.
