better understanding. I am currently learning German and I aim to travel a lot more, whether that be via holidays or within my career.

Cooking:  I enjoy cooking for friends and love to experiment with new recipes and dishes. I like cooking a variety of cuisine, both traditional British

and international. As with my love of language and different cultures, I like to explore foreign methods and styles.

Lifestyle: I enjoy walking, both in the city and in the country. In addition to exploring the world around me, I go to the gym and take pride in living

a vibrant and healthy lifestyle by recently starting a lifestyle blog.
