Activities

Being a sporty individual who loves the outdoors, I spend much of my free time taking part in physical activity. Hiking, scuba diving and running are three pastimes I particularly enjoy. However, I also love taking part in sports and have played football to a high standard all my life. When I’m not being active, I enjoy relaxing with friends and family, especially if there is a good restaurant to be checked out.
