Besides astronomy, I have a few hobbies I like to do in my (precious litte) spare time. Among these are archery (I just got a 40# recurve for Christmas, which I am adjusting to), and biking (I currently live in Denmark, so that is not particularly unique here, but back in Boston I was also a bike commuter).

I enjoy being and doing things outside such as hiking, camping, and canoeing. Summer weather in Denmark is perfect for such activities. In winter, not so much.

I love Denmark, and I would live here forever if I could. My Danish is not that great, but it's improving (slowly). I have Danish ancestry, and a Danish last name, so I fit right in (except my first name is a boy's name here, which has caused a little confusion, but also made for some good stories).

I speak fluent Spanish, which I learned in Venezuela. I consider Venezuelan Spanish to be the perfect variation of Spanish. Don't try to argue with me on this one.

In a previous life, I was an artist. I still enjoy drawing once in a while when I have time.

I recently joined a football (or "soccer" as you Yankees call it) team here. Watching me try to play with a coach screaming commands in Danish, and me understanding next to nothing, is probably quite amusing. I have a good time. I also took up swimming again.
