Reading, Cooking

I enjoy reading contemporary fiction, especially when I travel. I love reading Nigerian and Cameroonian writers. I have enjoyed a few works from Graham Swift too. And oh, I write too. 

I love cooking during my free time, especially local dishes. I do try out new recipes equally, when I can.
