Interests

When I'm not studying, I enjoy spending time with recreational activities such as playing video games, reading books and playing music. Floor ball and badminton are some of the sports I enjoy.

Even though I prefer indoor activities like music production and watching television shows, outdoor activities such as hiking during the summer and skiing during the winter are some things that I value greatly.
