Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy crocheting new pieces of clothing, playing games 🎮 like Baldur's Gate, Genshin Impact, and Destiny2, and reading through my ever-growing book collection.

When I'm not indoors I love to travel, kayak, and go on hiking excursions. I've backpacked throughout southern Iceland.
( Valahnjúkur 🌄, Fagradalsfjall 🌋, Vatnajökull 🏔️ to name a few)

And as a honorary mention, I have two cats that I absolutely love and can't live without.
