I have found many ways to make my life exactly what I always dreamed it could be. When doing things that make me happier, I feel like I have succeeded in making my life something I can be proud of. The best way to display this is through my many hobbies and passions that I take great pride in such as exploring new locations while hiking or driving, building my dream cars, eating amazing food, and building computers and other technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have fallen in love with cars since the day I was able to know what they were, but Japanese cars always were my favourite, especially Subaru and Toyota. The white 2016 Subaru WRX in the images is my first car that I have almost tinkered with every inch of.\u00a0This is a car that I plan on keeping forever and I am truly proud of it. It has allowed me to explore my creative and mechanical passion as well as dive into photography of mainly automotive subjects, as well as others. When exploring new locations I am often excited to experience new smells, sounds, and views, my favourites coming from the forest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When exploring new locations I am often excited to experience new smells, sounds, and views, my favourites coming from the forest. I love going on hikes in places like the redwoods, stinson and many others. These activities give me a feeling of peace, being in the quiet forest away from almost everything. The drives to these locations are always very beautiful and makes for an even better trip as I get to drive my favourite car through the mountains before a hike.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of my other passions dive into the technology and culinary worlds. Technology is something that interests me more than anything else, as I have always had a good understanding of the way it works and how to use it for personal gain.<\/p>\n

I have build three pc’s of my own and have gained immense knowledge from doing so. Technology is something that truly drives my everday life, and a main reason why I chose the MIS major I did.<\/p>\n

Since a kid I have always had a thing for food, wanting to make it but also just enjoy all cultures culinary delights. Japanese food has grown to be my favourite over time, with the dish in the picture being my absolute favourite, Japanese katsu curry.<\/p>\n
