Fun Fact
I love eating fruits, vegetables, and seafood. Fruit or vegetables salad is one of my comfort foods. Warm tea, latte, and milk are my favorite beverages. I practice Balinese traditional dance and yoga a lot during my spare time. Cooking signature recipes is another coping skill I have for refreshing myself where I can also explore various cuisines from different cultures as a universal language. Traveling to a place with a natural view such as a National Park is another fun thing to do to refresh my mind. I believe that engaging with nature will provide me with better sight and ideas that can refresh my physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
