Affiliations

  • I have a diverse range of hobbies that keep me active and engaged. Surfing provides an exhilarating experience and a sense of peace as I navigate the waves. Rugby offers a fantastic outlet for teamwork and physical fitness, with the camaraderie and strategic elements of the game being particularly rewarding. Swimming is another passion of mine, offering a full-body workout and a chance to relax. Whether in the ocean, a pool, or a lake, swimming is a versatile activity that I enjoy throughout the year. These hobbies not only keep me physically fit but also provide a balanced mix of excitement, teamwork, and relaxation.
