Things I do with my free time Today's topic is "my hobbies". Well... let me start with dancing. When I was a child, I was very shy and never thought I could like dancing, but somehow I got into it when I came across Samba. I started samba with no intension of continuing as I was invited to try out just for a month with a friend of mine. Then I met this lady, my samba teacher. Unlike the other dance classes I had seen, she started the class just putting the music on and telling us to close our eyes and move our bodies freely to get on the rhythm, no instruction, no choreography. This groundbreaking method of teaching just grabbed my heart and helped me break my shell and throw myself into the rhythm. After moving to Spain, I have tried flamenco for 2 years as I could not find samba class and now I am dancing belly dance. Another thing I enjoy is swimming. Unfortunately I can't swim often anymore as I now live in a small town and we don't have a heated pool here. However whenever I go to Granada I take my swim suit and go to the public pool near the place I usually stay. I started swimming when I was a child and since then I have been swimming for entire my life. These days I have been enjoying making some origami earrings. It can be frustrating sometimes as it requires a lot of patience, working with small pieces of paper but somehow it relaxes my mind and makes me feel good when I finish making them. Right now I am thinking about selling them on the Internet as they are just sitting on my desk. Although I have never tried, I am also interested in scuba diving. I would love to try that when I go to Australia :)
