Drawing

Currently teaching myself to draw.

Reading

As a fantasy writer, I enjoy reading fantasy novels. Just recently finished both Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. I am also a Harry Potter fan.

Camping

I love camping in a tent. The idea of isolated camping being one with nature and away from the hustle and bustle of town life and also disconnecting from social media, often camping in places with no reception and these places are really beautiful and often untouched by humans. When I camp I live by the motto of leave no trace.

Cycling

To keep fit I like to cycle. Took up cycling as a teen as a mode to get to places as I wanted the independence and didn't want to rely on my parents as a taxi service.

Photography

I am a keen landscape and animal amateur photographer. Mostly take photos of waterfalls and beach side views.

Gaming

I am also a PC gamer and streamer, I can be found on twitch either breaking new Magic the Gathering decks or playing Diablo or Rocket League. I also enjoy playing board games and trading card games (TCG), with the later I am a magic the gathering player and collector.

Remember, you can make a difference.
