I would say that cooking and trying out new recipes are my favorite hobby, and it’s something I always look forward to on the weekends. I also love watching soccer/football with my friends (I am a Liverpool FC fan), and enjoy playing a game when I can as well. I enjoy painting in my spare time, and have some supplies in the house for when the inspiration strikes me, but I would not say I am very good at it unfortunately. I like going for fairly long walks when I can, as I can listen to some music, get some steps in, and bask in the sun if the weather permits. I am also something of a film buff, and love talking about them at length to anyone who will listen. I prefer to read non-fiction books for the most part and find books about economics to be the most interesting. which makes me fairly boring! I am currently reading a biography of Socrates, a Brazilian soccer player who was a pro-democracy activist in the 70s and 80s.
