Hobbies and interests
I really enjoy losing myself in computer games, (especially shadow of the colossus) books, good films and animations. I like to Go out and meet all different types of people and learning from others, and the human condition on the whole.
I have a big soft spot for animals and fascinated by their diversity and often go to the zoo to draw them. In the past I have trained in Breakdance and have also made three parachute jumps.
