"I have been practicing Aikido since 2019. This is something that has changed my essence and character. Currently, I am a 2nd kyu purple belt. I also really love to travel. I visited my aunt, grandmother, and uncle in the States in 2016 and 2018. I visited over 5 states and would be happy to go back again. Airsoft is a sport that I recently rediscovered; this sport brings me adrenaline and enjoyment of the whole moment."
