Writing exercise

I have many hobbies including travel, gym, reading and eating. And my favorite is travel as well as gym. For me, travel can open my mind, meet new friends, enjoy beautiful scenery and absorb variety knowledge. And gym can help me to refresh my brain, improve my stamina and keep my healthy. Compare with my childhood, my hobbies have been changed. When I was a kid, I loved something which are noisy, crowded and hot, for example: drinking and dancing. I felt travel, gym and reading bored due to the fact that I loved hangout with many friends. But when I grew up, I am tired with that as I wanted to have my own space and want to make my life more deserving, that’s why I love travel, gym and reading. Even though many of my hobbies have changed, my love of food has not changed, enjoy delicious food is my continuous hobby. Food is also a symbol of a city it can deliver the culture, taste habit and life style of a city. Every city owns their typical food, so you could understand more about the city through their food.
