Additional Information

In my spare time I enjoy reading classic literature and poems of which some of my favourites are the works Edgar Allan Poe as they are filled with mystery, macabre and intrigue. I also enjoy getting out cycling and am also currently learning to drive, something that is challenging but rewarding at the same time and will be of great benefit in helping me become more independent in the future.
