Reading, Travelling and Baking.
I enjoy reading a mix of fiction and non-fiction, especially books that explore identity, culture, and social themes. As a teacher, I also love discovering new literature that can engage my students and spark meaningful discussions.
Traveling is another passion of mine—I love immersing myself in different cultures, trying local foods, and learning about history firsthand. Moving to Lisbon has been an exciting adventure, and I’m enjoying exploring the city and its surroundings.
Baking is something I find both relaxing and rewarding. Whether it’s trying out traditional Ghanaian recipes or experimenting with new flavors, I love the process of creating something delicious from scratch. It’s also a great way to share joy with friends and family!
