- Fish keeping - Since my time at Pets at Home, I have really enjoyed independently extending my knowledge in both tropical and marine fish keeping I have been proud to have kept a marine reef tank and have now moved onto currently building up my 5ft Tropical Juwel rio 450 tank
- Fishing - During the summer of 2025, I invested in a couple of boats to get myself and partner out on the water to do some fishing This has helped me gain knowledge on the species that live in the cornish waters, as well as helping me become more aware of sea safety
