A: I am very passionate about traveling and experiencing the world’s different cultures. I last travelled to Japan in 2023, and the thing I enjoyed the most was the food.
I am very interested in emerging technologies and how they will impact our lives. The development of social media, video games, and artificial intelligence is something that I find truly amazing.
Learning about the world of stocks and investing is another topic that piques my interest.
