Hobbies and Interests
My main hobby is anything related to music. I love to sing, I love to dance, play the guitar, and, my favorite, play the piano. I've been playing the piano since I was 7 years old, and singing probably a bit longer than that. It is what de-stresses me.I also like sports. I love to run; it helps me clear my mind, and also helps me stay healthy. I also love to play tennis and padel. I love to travel, whether it is to another country or another city; there's always new places see and new people to meet.
