Description

I would like to meet lots of different people who have lived through different life experiences. I think no matter how ordinary someone may think their lifestyle is, I love to hear and learn about different ideas and listen to how people have lived. I would also like to learn new skills and apply them in a variety of different ways, which I believe I can do by taking on different opportunities to learn.

I enjoy:

- Meeting new people,
- Learning about different lifestyles and hearing about others' experiences,
- Walking, exercising, playing Soccer and different physical activities,
- Learning about languages,
- Baking and cooking,
- Travelling (currently at 16 countries),
- Reading.
