Interests

I am a very active person who enjoys keeping fit, playing rugby and outdoor activities. I am a keen runner and cover around 30-40km a week come rain or shine. I love to be in the mountains when its winter season, as I am fanatical about snowboarding and the beautiful scenery. I enjoy following motor sport and anything to do with cars, the highlight of which is attending the Le Mans 24hr race every year.
