Reading
I absolutely love reading. The brain bridges new connections and create new ideas whenever you're reading - that fascinates me.

Travelling
I'm big on traveling. Exploring the vast world out there shows just how small we are & how much is left that we haven't explored or seen with our own eyes yet. Not to mention that it inspires me to try new things and in turn boosts my morale.
