I'm an outdoor enthusiast. I love playing and watching most sports, with AFL being my greatest passion. I try to get in the water as much as possible. If it's flat, I dive. If there's waves, I surf. If it's in between, I fish. I've climbed several volcanoes in Indonesia and plan on climbing more in the future.
