I love outdoor sporting activities like soccer, football and baseball. I consider traveling as informational because it accords me the opportunity to learn about the people and their culture in those places visited, but thanks to the willingness to make those journey, i believe they formed the part of what i have become today. Reading and writing also help me to discover myself and constantly propel new ideas in me.
