Affiliations
- Being raised in the Mediterranean, the Sea was always a big part of my life. Subsequently, I enjoyed fishing on the ocean or now on the riverbank. Additionally, swimming was usually a favoured activity during my recreational time. Now having a 4 year-old daughter and long-term English Partner, my free time is spent in the British countryside enjoying nature and the various outdoor pursuits that were never available in Malta. Finally, I also enjoy putting my hand to all things ‘DIY’ and gardening.
