Hobbies
I enjoy spending time in nature, so all of outdoor activities are within my interest. Recently I spend my free time swimming and doing yoga, which helps me to keep my body in a healthy state. I also like different types of dancing, so sometimes find salsa and other Latino dances in my neighborhood. One of the last semesters at College of San Mateo I decided to try Latin Dance class and tap dancing. I enjoyed them both in different ways, only tap dancing had a great impact on my feet, so I needed to take a break after a while. Personally, I like learning, science, literature and theater.
