My Leisurely Pastimes

When I'm not coding, I'm eating. A Lot... I love cheesecake, and I love fried chicken. Korean fried chicken especially. I also enjoy playing video games, watching movies, and reading books. I like to workout, walk, and run. My goal is about 20,000 steps a day. I also enjoy playing the piano and guitar. Someday I want to be able to travel, but for now, I'm just a homebody.
