Interests

I love cooking, finding new foods to try, traveling, and live music. I regularly take long walks and practice yoga for my physical and mental well-being, as I find it helpful for my own nervous system regulation. I would also like to get back into playing guitar, improving my conversational Spanish, and writing.
