Fishing, golf, movies and travel.
I love bottom fishing but also enjoy trolling for the pelagic species. Then golf is second on my list of favorite things to do. And I enjoy watching good movies, especially Korean dramas, which has taken a lot of my time in recent times. Finally, who doesn't like to travel and learn new things this world has to offer.
