Furthermore, my favorite activity, surfing, requires me to be outside, I enjoy surfing because it is a great way to exercise. Moreover, surfing is a very social activity, and I am often able to surf while catching up with friends out on the water.
Finally, I prefer spending my leisure time outdoors because I live in San Sebastian, Spain, which has ideal weather almost every day of the year. Because San Sebastian is always sunny, there is never a reason to miss an opportunity to spend time outside. Even when I do not surf, I enjoy hiking or just walking around a nearby park.
To conclude, I enjoy spending my leisure time on activities I cannot do during school. Thus, I have found that outdoor activities provide me with a break from my daily routine and keep me feeling healthy and happy.
