I love reading fiction novels, generally within the narrative genre of magical realism. I also really enjoy sketching buildings and landscapes, painting on canvases and more recently attempting watercolor painting. Calligraphic art is another favorite of mine, so I have delved into English and Arabic calligraphy with pens and paints. My usual fitness consists of yoga, pilates, and running, but whenever the chance arises I also love hiking and kayaking. My ultimate form of unwinding is spending time with my family and friends.
