HOBBIES & INTERESTS

With a deep appreciation for nature and culture, I'm passionate about permaculture, gardening, and global cuisine. I spent two transformative months in the Costa Rican jungle, contributing to a sustainable permaculture project, and have lived in ten countries — from Iceland to India — always seeking places where nature is at the heart of daily life. Cooking is my creative playground: I love exploring and reimagining traditional recipes from the diverse cultures I've immersed myself in, from Colombian arepas to Polish pierogi and Brazilian brigadeiro.
