Despite my many struggles throughout my life, I always try to be independent where I can and keep a positive and optimistic mindset.
One of my main hobbies is gaming as I am a passionate gamer and like to play a variety of genres as a way to escape the stresses of everyday life and imagine that I am in that world. I enjoy the feeling of escapism when watching films, TV series and reading books.
I feel that I am a well-rounded person, good humoured and enjoy a good chat but will also listen and take on board what others have said.
Thanks for reading about me and look forward to finding someone with similar interests who will enjoy the role of being my PA.
