RUNNING… As part of my exercise routine I like running in my spare time, or weekends, is part of my relaxation to avoid stress.

DANCING… Dancing like reading and running is one of my passions. I always like to keep active. I consider being active as part of a good health always in motion; better than doing what we like..

LISTENING TO MUSIC… Music is a fundamental part in my life

VEGETARIAN… I love vegetables; fruits, and all organic food. I think that being vegetarian is a lifestyle; I am completely vegetarian by conviction, I think our eating habits define in great measure our mood
