Football / Running / Gym / Gaming

I'm passionate about football and enjoy attending games, whether it's to support my own team or watch a local match. Recently, I've taken up running as it benefits my mental health and boosts my productivity, much like my time at the gym. Additionally, I love gaming with friends; it's a fantastic way to stay connected with home while I'm often on the move.
