Hobbies & Interests

Hobbies

I think my hobby is trying new things! I am definitely not an expert in any one thing but I love exploring, especially with others.
That said, I really enjoy the outdoors, especially hiking and going on treks. Going off-grid, surrounded by nature is the best way to clear my mind and realign my priorities.
I am also a big fan of cooking and baking, especially for my loved ones.
And of course, I love listening to music and watching movies.
Here are some of my favourites:
Music:
- In Rainbows — Radiohead
- A Blemish in the Great Light — Half Moon Run
- Parachutes — Coldplay
- Oncle Jazz — Men I Trust
Movies:
- Interstellar
- Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain
- No Other Choice
- Léon
Books:
- Three Body Problem — Liu Cixin
- Demon Haunted World — Carl Sagan

Photography

I enjoy taking photos! I think I like the way different people perceive a place or a moment differently, and sharing photography allows to express and communicate those unique perspectives. I take photos on my phone mostly (Iphone 12 mini) but I also enjoy using my analog camera (Pentax MV1 135) that my dad got for me in an antique shop in Japan around 10 years ago.

Mexico City, Mexico - May 2026. Kodak Gold 200

Photos taken of Somaya Museum, part of the Carlos Slim foundation.

Volcan Pacaya, Guatemala - May 2026. Kodak Gold 200

Photos taken during a hike around Volcan Pacaya, one of the four active volcanoes of Guatemala. The horses are there to carry people who don't want to hike up the mountain.

Isla de Flores, Guatemala - May 2026. Kodak Gold 200

People swimming in the water around the island of Flores. The water has been overflowing on the sidewalks for three years now.

Seoul, South Korea - December 2025. Kodak Gold 200

Photos taken in Geyongbukgung or Gyeongbuk Palace.

I like the many layers of roofs that we can see here! Also the sort of gargoyles are beautiful and stand out against the blue sky.

Another perspective of the same roofs, the reflection on the water extends the sky!

Roofs and gargoyles once again! The patterns on the walls are very special and the small doorway is cute.

Photos taken around the streets in Seoul.

Photo taken in Itaewon, I like the contrast of the bold colours of the letters on the road and the red shop in the background.

A 경비 아저씨 in Itaeon, friends walking in front! Also cool colours with road sign and the 아저씨's hat.

A street in Haebangchon, there is an overwhelming amount of signs, lights, wires, posts, and CCTV cameras! Yellow and black mix.

A metalwork shop, with the metalworker! And a cute shiba with his walker a little further. I like the framing of this one.

Prague, Czech Republic - December 2025. Kodak Gold 200

Photos taken walking around Prague .

Charles Bridge over the Vltava river. I remember wanting to capture the reflection of the sun in the water.

The buildings in Prague are among the most beautiful I've seen. This magical street showcases this, with beautiful decorations at the top of buildings and these bridge-like structure between the buildings.

The St Vitus Cathedral, located inside Prague Castle. The foggy atmosphere adds a lot of dimension.
