Hobbies & Interests

I grew up on the Isle of Wight, which sparked my love for the outdoors and being by the ocean. I enjoy long walks, staying active, and making the most of being outside. In my free time, I also like reading, trying new foods, and travelling—especially exploring new places and cultures whenever I get the opportunity.
