I love this city!

Interests:

• Cooking/Baking
• Creative Writing
• Watching Movies
• Organising

Career Aspirations:

I really want to travel the world and meet lots of new people and explore new cultures. I hope that my future career can help me achieve that!

I have considered many careers which require further research but sectors such as tourism, business and interpretation interest me greatly. I do love art, but have never had the chance to properly study any of it apart from one year in secondary school.

Movie and Gaming Interest:

I have always loved movies, but it wasn't until a year or so ago that I started to see the messages from the director as opposed to just watching a film and waiting to be entertained. I watch just about anything, apart from romantic girly comedies and gory/freaky horrors. I hate zombies! I assure you, I cannot watch Shaun of the Dead without getting the shivers.

I think I was sort of the son my dad never had, so I do like a lot of boy-ish stuff. Things like James Bond, fast cars, video games and the art of preparing a sandwich... Oh yeah, they all play an important role in my free-time. I remember me and my dad playing Doom 2 on Windows 98, that and Duke Nukem, Gunman, and Quake.

I really like the Assassin's Creed series, and other games like Star Wars, the Lego series (especially Lego Batman), Batman Arkham Asylum/City, and Enslaved. I also really like comic books and all their known movies :P

My favourite TV shows are South Park, Game of Thrones, Dexter, Big Bang Theory, American Horror Story and Futurama. American Dad, The Borgias and Absolutely Fabulous follow closely behind...
