Hobbies and Interests

I’ve always loved movies and continue to watch both popular and more obscure films. I love to roam with my camera through empty streets at night or crowded markets, ride a bike, exploring the remote places of the city. When I have more free time, I prefer to travel in the mountains or non-tourist places.
