Travelling, cooking and swimming

I think that traveling is a wonderful way to learn more about other cultures, and I like to travel both alone and with companions. Cooking is always enjoyable, and it's rewarding to experiment with different flavors and cuisines. Although I'm not very good at it, I like to swim during the summer months so that I can spend time by the beach and take advantage of the sunshine.
