Hobbies

I like to learn about different cultures, especially their beliefs and languages. The best way to do this is through travelling. One item I have never left behind on my trips is my camera. I love taking professional pictures of basically everything from nature to cityscape, from food to people in actions. On the weekends, I'm a freelance wedding photographer.
