I live in Leicester and I walk every day to the Institute to work. I like to walk and run in the parks or doing exercise in the gym. When I have time I try to cook international food. I like to travel to different countries and learn different cultures.
I like to watch all kind of films (my favourites are comedies and Science fiction). And I like to play the acoustic guitar.
