Hello!,

if you stumbled on this website, you may already have an idea of my research interests. In this section I will talk about my hobbies and personal interests :) head to the other pages to check out my CV and projects!

While I am a very passionate about my field of study, I keep in high regard personal leisure time and opportunities to relax off work.
Other than just consuming art (reading, listening to music, and visiting museums are some of my favourite activities to unwind), I have always liked producing art, and I still do that in every possible form, no matter my skills in it: painting, writing stories, crocheting or knitting... you name it! I am always up for a challenge and I really enjoy learning new manual skills.

Spending time with my friends is also something I always try to make up time for, no matter where they may be in the world! I am happy to meet new people and I'm eager to learn as much as possible from them, especially when it comes to discussing the most different topics or learning about different cultures: it's always exciting to try out different cuisines and learn new recipes.

Finally, I feel the best when I can just wander around: trips, hikes, simple walks... Being surrounded by nature makes me deeply happy and satisfied (especially when I can take in all the sun!). Lately I have been trying to incorporate some of that amazing sensation filling my living space with houseplants.
