I love to climb but I have no fear so need a Personal Assistant to watch me at all times to ensure my safety. I am very, very busy and I have lots of energy and like to run around outdoors so you will have to keep a constant and watchful eye on me. I love going to the Beach as this is my happy place.

I love going for walks outside and love going on bear hunts with my family.
