Hobbies and Interests
In my spare time I enjoy cooking, completing Sudoku and Crossword puzzles, playing the piano, shopping and watching television shows such as How I Met Your Mother, Friends, Brooklyn 99 and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. I love to travel, but have never been out of Australia before, so I am very interested to visit the gorgeous cities of Paris, London and New York. Other things on my bucket list are going snorkelling to discover the beauty of our under-the-sea world, and then the reverse; I would really love to fly in a hot-air balloon and admire the beautiful views that our city has to offer.
