Hey yall! Writing fiction and learning about history are my main hobbies.
For something less nerdy, I'm big on Genshin Impact and video games in general. I also love dancing, mainly Vouging and Waacking, but I'm always up for exploring new things!

Hi! I have quite a deep interest in physics while I’m studying biology. Studying physics has become some sort of a hobby for me during my freetime.
However, I’m quite into anime and video games (I’m not a whale). I’ve been playing Genshin Impact for three years and I also love watch anime on weekends.

Hi! Greetings from a huge book & music(Taylor Swift, Yoasobi) lover! Have you ever thought of what goes behind the YouTube videos we produce? There’s a long journey, from throwing out ideas for brainstorming to the making of the scripts of what we say and the general execution of our content through our videos! I’m one of the gals who are in charge of that, which I love!!
