INTERESTS:
|
I'm interested in a bunch of things, but if I have to choose I guess that I should stick to music (both listening to almost anything and playing any kind of drums, though sometimes I don't make much sense.. or so I've been told) and any type of outdoors activities. I specially enjoy biking around Vancouver during spring and summer (yep.. old habits die hard), climbing and playing soccer. Coming from an island I love the sea and swimming, but the water in this area is a bit too cold for me and Vancouver beaches are not a big deal... (besides there's not much to see while snorkeling) so I found myself trading it for some winter sports and hiking in the mountains. Top of all I like to build stuffs, from electronic equipments to wood sculptures I always have something in my hands... and most of the time I leave it unfinished to start something new. Oh!.. yes.. I forgot... for sure I can tell that I DON'T like sushi... and believe me, this is a REALLY strong statement 'round here.
