Yoga. Poem. Animals

I am a poet and my first book of poetry was published when I was twenty and my second book was published when I was thirty-two. I have been playing musical instrument since my adolescence.

I love nature and animals and that's why I've been a vegetarian for years. I have been doing yoga for years too.
One of my favorite things to do is volunteering at a nursing home and providing psychological services for the elderly. Also, I have been volunteering with vulnerable and homeless children for several years.
