Yeah, I'm kind of fit. And I'm quite careful about my diet.

I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.

I missed my home - like the physicality of my home, I missed my friends and my family mostly and just hanging out and being in your home country - culturally it feels right and that is what I miss.
