Other Sides of My Life
I love water, and every form of it - lake, ocean, snow - which evokes within me a deep sense of serenity. I enjoy spending a whole afternoon on the beach watching waves lashing at the shore. I also find joy in exploring quirky & lovely gift shops, binge-watching Netflix and searching for good food and boba.
