Quick Fire Questions:

If you got a year off with full pay, what would you do?

Aside from travelling, it's always been a dream of mine to go skydiving, so I think I'd book that in if I had a year off.

Do you have a favourite place where you've traveled?

Switzerland. The scenery there was so beautiful and it had a very peaceful atmosphere.

Do you have a favourite song, band, or artist?

Choosing a favourite is tricky, but the first song I learned to play on the guitar, "Hotel California" by Eagles. Learning this song was an introduction into the world of music for me, and I can still remember how to play the song by heart.
