Personal

Personally, I really enjoy travelling; it makes me meet more cultures and keeps me open-minded. I also like to learn new things in my free time, and I completed a course named “Chemicals and Health”, which is authorized by Johns Hopkins University and offered through Coursera on 16/08/2020. In the same year, I spent two months learning a new instrument—the guitar—and was quite good at it.
