DJ, tourist guide, elderly care

I am passionate about music. I was a DJ in high school because I loved the feeling of people responding to your music choices.

I have also ventured into the tourism industry. I love showing my country's famous landmarks to foreigners.

Last, but not least, caring for my own parents made me very aware of the needs of the elderly and how they must be treated with respect.
