This is an opportunity for you to make yourself more interesting. Offering a glimpse into what makes you relatable is the goal. If all goes well, your answer could generate a connective conversation that will leave the interviewer with a memorable experience at the conclusion of your interview. Share the hobbies and interests that make you seem interesting and affable. Find relatable points of common interest. The less guarded you are about your personal life, the more it shows you'll be able to foster interpersonal work relationships. Your interviewer will take this into consideration when they are evaluating your fit into the team.

"I enjoy reading and watching documentaries a lot. I also love getting on my bike and riding through the park. Mountain biking, too. When I can, I go to the mountains and go skiing. But more than anything, I enjoy spending the evening snuggling on the couch with my significant other and streaming something on the TV."
