INTERESTS
Sports
Coming from an active family, sports have always been a hobby of mine. I currently engage in a variety of athletic activities, with my latest favorite being obstacle course racing. This sport is not only challenging but also incredibly fun, especially when training with a team. This year, I participated in my first obstacle race, and it was an absolute blast! In addition to obstacle racing, I also play tennis and enjoy road running.
ANIMALS
From a very young age, I was always accompanied by pets at home. One of the most unique pets that I had was Jack the monkey which was saved from being put down. Others included bird, cats, dogs, ducks, rabbits, donkeys and essentially any other pet you can think of. I currently have chickens in the back yard, two German Shepards which as you can see, are always on duty and a mini Daschund. I also love donkeys but they require a lot of outdoor space, company and care making it a bit difficult to get one, but definitely one to keep in mind for the future.
Travelling
I really enjoy travelling new to different countries and try different food, new experiences and also meet new people! I have mostly visited countries in Europe but this year I took a short career break to do some travelling and went to Vietnam and Singapore. Vietnam is by far my favourite country I've visited till now. Will definitely like to visit other countries in Asia in the future.
