About me and this site
I have a lot of hobbies and this is a new one: blogging things I’m interested in, trying to be more creative and sharing my many learnings with my friends, family and anyone else willing to read. The main areas I’m planning on covering are:

2. Life Advice: Share my life philosophy with you with the aim to inspire
