Job description

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I am a 24-year-old gentleman living in the Aberdare area. I enjoy going for walks and visiting the park. I often catch the train into Cardiff as I like shopping, visiting Cardiff Bay, and spending time in Techniquest. I also enjoy going to the beach—especially Barry, when the weather allows.

One of my hobbies is pottery, and my favourite things to make are gnomes and gonks. I enjoy lots of different genres of music, but one of my favourites is Dolly Parton.
