Hobbies and interests

I am driven to become a good home cook, a skill I inherited from my dad, who worked at his family restaurant in Thailand and abroad. I have developed extensive home cooking experience and hope to be able to step into working in a restaurant kitchen to gain advanced culinary skills. I have studied Spanish to a high standard for several years and continue to actively pursue fluency both in school and independently.  I have spent the last 3 years focused on my diverse interests in sports, with a particular focus on my advanced endeavours in Badminton and Football. I have also spent the last couple of years maintaining a gym schedule to complement my diverse sporting background. I am well adapted to the new world with technology, I am proficient with computers and constantly seek out practical new skills with future utility in mind. Ultimately, once I complete my degree, I plan to leverage this adaptability to step far out of my comfort zone, exploring the unfamiliar regions of the world, specifically the Americas, to embrace new global perspectives.
