Things I do when I am not coding...

I'm passionate about discovering the world—whether it's through the pages of a great book or by setting off on new adventures. When I'm not lost in a novel or planning my next trip, you'll often find me tending to my garden or caring for my fish tanks—two hobbies that keep me grounded, creative, and connected with nature.
