Fishing, excersing and rugby.

I'm quite an active person. Attends rugby practice twice a week and visits the gym regularly. I often go on fishing trips as I like the calmness while waiting for the catch of the day and excitement whenever something hooks on the line. I'm adventurous, and always keen to experience/ learn new stuff.
