Fun fact: I actually love going to concerts alone! It might sound a bit quirky, but it’s my chance to get lost in the music, dance like nobody's watching, and fully enjoy every moment. Plus, it opens up the opportunity for spontaneous adventures and meeting new people!

Fun fact: I am a huge fan of zombie movies, mainly because the genre leads me to ponder various questions about human fragility and resilience. Either way, I would love to play a zombie, preferably alongside a zombie dog.  Just saying…
