Personal Profile

Travelling is a part of my life that I both and enjoy and respect. I have visited the U.S.A and parts of Europe and I am fascinated by new and diverse culture as I take each journey as an opportunity to expand my knowledge of the world and to experience new sights, I wish to start visiting the far east of the world in the future. When I am in the U.K I take part in various gaming tournaments around the U.K with my love of fighting games, this has given me the opportunity to meet new friends and experience a feeling that only a community can produce by coming together and cheering both myself and my opponents on. The community of the tournaments is the reason why I take part in them, a truly incredible and social way to undertake a hobby that I am fortunate to experience. The life skills I have learned from my experiences will most certainly be utilised in my future career.
