Hobbies
When I'm not teaching English I am acting! I am a huge movie buff and love going to the cinema. Also I really enjoy reading fiction (Vonnegut, Hemmingway, Brett Easton Ellis). I have played sports my whole life and spend time at the gym throughout the week swimming, biking or playing basketball.
