Besides my interest in art and illustration, some of my biggest hobbies are videogames, reading, music and animation. I also like keeping up to date with the latest world news, reading up the latest social and political news online, or watching documentaries about different topics. Besides these hobbies, I also enjoy travelling. These trips are a constant source of inspiration for me, as well as the perfect opportunity to practice languages, learn about other cultures and meet new people.
