Interests and Hobbies
September 25, 2009
In my spare time I like to:
- play and watch soccer. I follow the FIFA World Cup and my favorite team is Germany.
- boulder, which is rock climbing without ropes.
- speed down snowy mountains with a board strapped to my feet.
- cook and bake. Especially, Italian food and sourdough bread.
- play poker. My favorite variant at the moment is Pot-Limit Omaha.
- listen to and play (DJ) trance music. Some of my mixes can be found here.
