Hobbies and Interests
In my spare time over the last few years, I have been learning how to trade forex and stocks, I mainly spend time with my son, but I also enjoy taking long scenic motorcycle trips with friends. I’m also very keen on travelling to various destinations across the world as soon as I can do so. If I’m not out with my son or friends I also enjoy watching series and some gaming when there is time.
