Do you have a hobby? Have you ever collected things? Do you know someone who collects things?

When I was young, I used to collect mineral rocks. I was about eight years old when this interest came up to me. Unfortunately, I can´t remember why I started assembled them, but 'I'm sured that this picked my interest in geology up. Actually, I ask myself what would have happened if I had been collecting them until now, how many minerals could I have reunited?
Although many stories should end up with a happy end, I have to say that my interest in those mineral rocks disappeared, and my interest in medicine came up until today, for the moment.

Maria, how nice is your history of your old hobby.

In my case, I don't remember when I began to collect stamps, but it was a merge between a family tradition and the love for the chocolate.
The thing is that my grandpa had been collected stamps for many years and this hobby was transfered to my father, and from him to me. At the same time, there was a chocolate maker who sent half hundred of stamps to the people who had sent a letter with fifty points from their chocolate bar.

At this moment, I have a big stamp collection from over the whole world, even from some countries that have changed his name.
