PERSONAL INTERESTS
I am an amateur artist and enjoy getting involved in creative projects. Caravanning and camping are my favourite ways to travel, being in the middle of nature is both relaxing and exciting. I also enjoy working out and practising outdoors sports such as trekking and snowboarding. I am also interested in Cosmology and Science in general.
I love new technologies and I always keep an eye on web seminars regarding the latest products.
