Activities and Interests:
I am a member of the C.I.T Tae-kwon-do society where, I train and fight in competitive tournaments. A high level of concentration and discipline is required for this sport. Surfing is another of my favourite pastimes, and most weekends I like to travel to various coastal locations around Ireland to surf. I also have a huge interest in music and play guitar. Another keen interest of mine is literature, the classics and fantasy being my favourite categories.
I enjoy travelling, and, during summer breaks, I have travelled to several European countries, Asian countries, as well as the United States. I enjoy travelling as it gives one the chance to experience new lifestyles in different places, and to meet interesting people.
