My favourite sports are football, running, swimming and trekking, for many years I used to compete on triathlon competitions and sometimes I participate in the senior series, I will say that I enjoy sports and for me is like a passion, I like reading and spending time with my family.
A favourite pastime its gastronomy and travelling, I like to cook when I organize friends and family parties, I always have a great supervision and teacher because my wife is a very known Chef here in Latin America, she is from Peru and she writes Gastronomy Books and she manage her own restaurant so I have to take care . |
