friends and usually after work we go and
have some beers and and maybe we go to
the cinema or I've just been today to
the ice skating arena there is a new one
in Cambridge so I skated didn't die no I
didn't I didn't I didn't fall either it
was really good what do you do in your
free time tend to there's quite a few
nice pubs and clubs in Cambridge so you
would like to let's go for a client
every now and again on a Monday night
Tuesday actually play Dungeons and
Dragons with my friends say that's a
really cool way of getting together and
sort of escape in everyday life and then
just walk through town things like that
cool
Cambridge is a lovely place to do so
yeah definitely I think a lot of people
can take it for granted and they've
lived here for quite a long time but
it's an amazing place especially for
tourists and people that you're sort of
sending out in this video for so yeah in
my free time I horse ride a lot I also
play the violin and so I play in
orchestras and quartets and I used to
sing in a choir
I'm from doing karate so I do cross he
bit my free time and then we said bye to
reads so yeah not so much
but many cross here you said that was
boring that in the sample well I don't
you do from what I don't do too much but
yeah just just go I see but it's good
fun sometimes painful yes for them
though then you ah not always I've had
my arm broken before so that wasn't fun
but apart from that ya know just
sometimes a bit of gym as well just to
help with quality but other than that
not really just relaxing because that's
that's fun definitely counts it does yes
so what do you do in your free time and
I go to university and there is a
swimming class I go to and also Samba
and stuff like that and also and I I go
to university near ratings book and
there's this big gorilla and we always
sit there in the evening and then drink
or just meet up yes I act in a amethyst
company called boards in Cambridge and
help them with social media marketing
for their productions which this year
includes Wind in the Willows which has
been performed here at the ABC Theatre
in December check that out I love the
Wind in the Willows
it's great I enjoy hiking exploring
usually Waterfall trails swing dancing
so East Coast West Coast Swing live
music concerts venues theatre don't we
what's it called the ADC theatre okay
I've just been told that Wind in the
Willows is playing it's so like a
British classic of England
I think it's British I haven't heard of
that one yet but I surely wouldn't
American as the day is long and yourself
what are your hobbies would you do free
time almost just to climbing so actually
it's a really good time with Mo this is
just going to the Olympics it was coming
up next year went out earlier today in
fact see the one of the bouldering gyms
and cut in Cambridge I'm really enjoying
it do lots of sports love their places
such as Cambridge
and read and go to the cinema and what
kind of sports do you do I go to the gym
quite a bit so they've got a little
weightlifting so you say you used to
sing so have your hobbies changed quite
a lot since you were young yeah well I
finished school last year and my choir
was doing on with my school so I stops
thank you very much
that's it do you think your hobbies have
changed since you were younger yeah
actually I started doing here too when I
was young then I went and had a family
and did some work and stuff like that so
I came back to doing some theatre when I
bet all that so I'm returning to what I
was used to do probably when I was
younger I did a lot of dancing classes
and no I don't really do that anymore
because and I don't like doing any
courses where I have to go every week so
I just go whenever I have time and don't
want to where I have to go make sense oh
yeah so when I was younger I used to be
really into music so I'd play a lot of
guitar and a keyboard but now with a bit
of reduced time I find I can't learn as
well so instead I play it just casually
and I find sports just to be easy to
manage so that's why I've changed to
karate but yeah I mean I used to read a
lot in my spare time as well but now I
got a phone it's a lot easier to waste
your time and not read as much yes
yeah but apart from that no not really I
never he did too much but yeah
alright I'll start it thanks so much do
you think your hobbies have changed
since you're younger at all we know yeah
I like to be outside
[Music]
and yourself I think they've expanded so
the opportunities have increased
especially the more you travel so living
here in Cambridge is different than
living in Louisville Kentucky so
obviously with more access to more
things to do different kinds of people
and exposure and venues absolutely um
yes I would say they have changed
because obviously since I'm working I
have more money to spend on my office so
do you think your hobbies have changed a
bit since you were younger I mean you
probably weren't drinking when you had
to yo yeah definitely there's obviously
a big change because when you
imagination and things kids these days
are a bit sort of tied up in technology
whereas back in the day you sort of play
there man humming as loud noise or mud
pies and mud pies and cowboys and
robbers and stuff back in the day but
yeah definitely changes especially when
you start working for a living and
yourself I mean I've been climbing since
I was five say mostly just stuck with
that for the most part I mean I did a
lot of reading when I was underwear like
casual reading and now obviously I most
of us read for my university course not
so much casual anymore but quite good
fun still do you prefer to have your
free time alone or with other people
no definitely weed out of people I mean
I don't mind sending by myself but if I
want to have fun I go out with my
friends I think most people is to say
some days I'm feeling social Sundays
myself thanks very much you know where
she is YouTube so do you prefer to do
your hobbies or free time with other
people or by yourself I think your
difference on the hobby I like to swim
she likes to hike I'd prefer to swim
with swimmers if anybody else I tend to
prefer group activities so even when I
do group exercise fitness body pump
allez mils classes the more the merrier
so Penn spent time with girlfriends
things like that obviously again it's a
bit lonely but if you go to the pub on
your own it can be quite nice
solitude again it's obviously always
called over friends well thanks very
much for your time and do you prefer to
do your free time with other people or
alone with other people I always go
there with my friends thank you very
much exactly from from Lance ooh that's
near Munich she's from Lancet you guys

believe it amazing so I really glad to
meet you thank you very much and so do
