Interests

Hobbies and Interests , In my free time I like to keep my mind stimulated by solving puzzles, reading, painting, and cooking, as well as keeping myself physically active through dancing and circus skills such as “fire spinning”. I am also a self-taught piano player, and hope to extend this hobby into learning the violin. Furthermore, I am also currently learning Welsh.
