Hobbies
Being from Northern California, I love the outdoors! I generally ride my bike as much as I can and get out in the sun whenever possible. Hiking and camping are are things I really like doing on the weekends- I especially like the Northern California redwoods, and Big Sur to the south. Aside from languages, I also find pottery/ceramics fascinating, and try to make it to the pottery studio that I am a member of at least 3 or 4 times per week. I find the pottery wheel meditative, and the overall lengthy process of completing a piece very rewarding. I really like making interesting functional pieces. When I get a chance, tennis is a sport I really enjoy.
