# Interests
I am very enthusiastic about sport and travel, in particular Athletics and Cross Country. I have recently been completing a 1 year bicycle trip around the world. I feel I have gained and broadened my horizons extensively and really wish to impart this wealth of knowledge onto the younger generations.
Inbetween my work in schools, I have been traveling around the world on a bicycle. I feel I have gained a greater awareness and sense of ethics and values from a wider variety of cultures. I attended 3 schools in countries of Vietnam, New Zealand and Fiji whilst traveling, and I was able to educate myself on the various methods of practice procedures used by other schools, whilst also managing to broaden my own personal teaching styles and methods.
I enjoy all opportunities that are presented to me, to pass on information that I have gathered. I am constantly seeking to acquire new information on the current issues and this knowledge, I feel can achieve the greatest results if it is passed down to the children who are passionate and motivated to make a change in a person’s life.
