Hi! You have reached Karol's leisure website (work here). I like to do interesting things for fun. Here are some of my interests.

    Hiking. I live in Pasadena, California. California has a beautiful nature and there are plenty of places to hike. Whether close here or other national parks. 
Lindy Hop. I like it because it is casual, free, very improvised and has a lot of energy and momentum. I usually go once a week - to Lindy Groove. There are many great dancers in LA and several other great places to go to but I don't usually feel like driving very far.
Traveling. I visited quite a few places, but haven't put up many pictures. Here are some, all from hiking.

Reading Books - I read more non-fiction then fiction becuase it is usually more interesting. On the other hand finction is usually more relaxing. Here are my favorite books:

Listening to Lectures - some good websites: TED, Princeton Public Lecture Series
Random Stuff. I do various random short term activities. Recently: 
Soccer: I take a class at Caltech, which is mostly playing. 
Comedy Improv/Acting class: This is something to do in LA! It was really fun! Though now I stopped - I have been rather busy and while this is really fun, it is not relaxing. May be I come back to this.
