I am passionate about teaching and learning. I love exploring the world and trying new things. The covid-19 pandemic caused most of us to spend the past year and a half in our homes, including myself. I indulged in lots of silly forms of entertainment and distraction, but I also made a point of finding educational channels on Youtube, and today I'd like to share some of my favourite videos with you.
