Some of my interests include AI, psychology, nature, running, and learning about countries + cultures and their history.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: pop, Bollywood, Hans Zimmer, k-pop, Spanish music. I absolutely LOVE Broadway shows but those are musicals.
Movies: I like most genres (no horror please). Some favorite movies are: Dark Knight, Notting Hill, Knives Out, The Gentlemen, Top Gun, James Bond, About Time. I also watch Bollywood movies and Korean movies sometimes.
Books: Da Vinci Code (and other Dan Brown books), Hunger Games, Harry Potter
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I’ve trekked to Everest Base Camp without a guide or porters; that was a pretty amazing experience with my friends.
Disclaimer: Would not recommend doing it without a guide, 3 of them got altitude sickness and had to helicopter down.
