INTERESTS
I believe that constant selfimprovement is very important,
thus I do like learning new skills
that I see interesting and useful
(languages,
forex
trading,
Salesforce). However, when I
want to relax I mostly spend my
free time with friends or new
acquaintances - playing board
games or dancing salsa. Also, I
am a huge travelling enthusiast
- I like to explore new places,
cultures and cuisines. All in all,
music is one of my passions as
well. Playing piano or listening
to a good live jazz music always
lifts me up!
