I enjoy travelling and learning about different cultures, constantly seeking to expand my knowledge. I have strong academic, logical and intellectual attributes, and Sudoku puzzles keep my mind sharp. I'm a precise crafter who loves crochet, beading and embroidery, and I enjoy roller-skating as a hobby I'd like to push further.
