Hobbies/Interests

HOBBIES/INTERESTS

My hobbies include playing soccer, reading books and travelling. 
I have an interest in environmental issues and a passion for wildlife. In the summer of 2006 I embarked upon an expedition to study endangered giant river otters and to also study insect biodiversity in a region of Peruvian Amazonian rainforest in South America. I lodged with 7 other people and a good atmosphere existed between us which is crucial when spending time for so long in such close proximity to each other. The weeks spent in the jungle were truly mesmerizing and have shown me that anything is possible to achieve if you want to.
