One of my main interests has always been dancing. I used to regularly compete as a Ballroom and Latin dancer where I became rank 2nd in the United Kingdom. Although I have not been involved in competitions for 12 years, I have recently joined the Manchester University Ballroom and Latin society. I am currently preparing to begin competing again. Other than Ballroom and Latin, I also enjoy Salsa, Bachata, and Lindy Hop. I attend the gym at least 3 times a week. I also enjoy swimming, playing guitar, cooking, and art.
I have recently started watching quite a few different TV shows and Movies, as well as indulging in casual reading. If I'm not reading a fiction book, I enjoy learning about new technologies to further improve my practical knowledge.
