Interests

I have so much energy and so much enthusiasm for so many things that I have amassed quite the list of hobbies throughout my life so far. I love to sing, having sung in choirs, brass bands and given solo recitals; I have even dipped a toe into the world of cabaret burlesque. I have also been very active having taken horse riding, gymnastics, athletics, swimming and sailing lessons. Most recently I have taken kung fu and MMA lessons. Whilst living in Japan I also learnt some Bachata.

I have a great love for travel and have visited over 15 different countries including the U.S.A, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Norway and Kenya.

My more lethargic hobbies include reading (fantasy is my favourite) and keeping up with all the Marvel movies.
