Travelling
Traveling is my favorite hobby because it gives me happiness visiting different places and allows me to explore new cultures and meet interesting people. I enjoy trying local foods and learning about the history of the places I visit. Each trip brings a unique adventure, whether I’m hiking in a national park or wandering through bustling city streets. It’s not just about the destinations; it’s about the experiences and memories I create along the way especially together with my family and friends."
