• Although I am not particularly sporty myself, I like to watch sports and look forward to each Olympic Games! Currently life is very busy – I am trying to focus on my studies while raising my one-year-old twin boys! When I do have free time, I like to read a good book. My other hobby is birdwatching, and I am always on the lookout for a new bird wherever I go.
