Interests: I love learning about cultures and religions. I have visited Japan, the Middle East (Iraq, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria), USA, Canada, Australia and Guatemala. I love art and films, and am artistic. I have just finished an art course where I made mixed media works using horsetail hair. Also currently I am upcycling denim jeans to make bags.
