Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is constantly changing. I'm the kind of person who likes a couple of songs from each genre and I can't just keep listening to one forever. I usually listen to singles. I really love listening to covers of original songs.
My favourite music genres are pop, Rock and Country.

Just like music, I don't have a specific favourite movie. However, I can name some titles, which I really like or was touched by The Shawshank Redemption, The Theory of Everything, The Impossible, The Pursuit of Happyness, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story, How to Train Your Dragon, Up, Ratatouille, Big Hero 6, Ex-Machina, Changeling, A Walk to Remember, The Fault in Our Stars, Shutter Island, Taken, The Harry Potter movie series and The Batman trilogy.

So as you can see, from the list above, my favourite movie genres would be: Drama, Thriller, Animation, Biography, Mystery, and I actually like the adrenaline rush you get from horror movies too.

As for books, I really enjoy non-fiction books on psychology, economics, and religion. I occasionally read fiction books and my favorite is The Count of Monte Christo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a trip out in the wild for 6 days with no amenities, no service, or even a basic toilet. It was very challenging to me as a germophobe. The tough part about it was the mental and psychological barrier rather than the physically challenging trails or waters.

I enjoyed every part of it and there began the (rather harsh) start of my accepting of the outdoors and looking forward to trails wherever I go.
