Hobbies and interests
One of my favorite things to do is travel. I am fortunate to have a family who enjoys traveling and can afford to go on vacation occasionally. I have been to fifteen states and over fourteen countries in my life and I am hoping I can visit many more. When I was nine years old I went on a cruise with my family and we traveled to Ephesus, Turkey, Dubrovnik, Croatia, and both Corfu and Santorini in Greece. After that trip I was able to tell people that my favorite place in the world was Dubrovnik, Croatia and I ate chicken in Turkey. The weather in Croatia was perfect and they had the best food I had tasted. A couple years later I went on another cruise to Spain and France.

Another one of my hobbies is eating. I do not mean eating like people who just enjoy having a snack. I try exotic foods as I travel around the world. Most of my exotic food tasting happens with my uncle because he also likes traveling and trying new things. In fact, he was the person who got me interested on the whole idea of going to new countries and trying crazy foods. During Spring Break of 2016, he flew me to New York for a late birthday present and I had a blast. I was able to sightsee a little and he took me on some interesting food trying experiences. While I was there, I added at least six things to my list of exotic foods; including cricket tacos and balut.

Lastly, my favorite thing to do with my free time involves soccer. Whether it be watching or playing, I always enjoy the sport. I have been playing soccer since I was five years old and I have been playing club for the past nine. I played AYSO for three seasons before going to a club called Rampage for a year. That club disbanded and my team moved to Real So Cal. Last year I was able to play forward on our high school soccer team and I enjoyed that a lot. Unfortunately I am not able to play this year because I play Academy. This season we are 11-4-5 and we are undefeated in our last nine games. My favorite professional team is Manchester United because that was the first English Premiere League stadium that I saw. My other top teams include FC Barcelona, Tottenham, Dortmund, and Juventus.
