I enjoy being a spectator at all kinds of sporting events, particularly international football matches. I was part of a football team in Changwon, Korea, and have competed in many pool contests. I have certificates for having executed my First Parachute Descent and a Discover Scuba Diving course, and am mid-way through paragliding training in Korea. I have recently white-water rafted the Zambezi and absailed from Table Mountain.
