Reading, Listening to music and watching football.

I read to develop my language skills and vocabulary and to also relax and reduce stress.

I am a lover of Ghanian highlife and gospel music. It is good for mood regulation, sleeping well as well as lessening anxiety.

I am an ardent supporter of Manchester United and Real Madrid and would not miss watching them when I am free.
