"When I have free time, I like to spend it going on long motorcycle rides, working on projects around my house, visiting my parents and brothers, and playing the guitar. I recently learned how to play the guitar and find it very relaxing. I also like to read true crime novels and build furniture in my workshop."

You want to avoid answering with activities that the interviewer may deem unhealthy or unprofessional, such as going bar hopping with your buddies, going to adult entertainment clubs, or going to raves with your friends. Even if you enjoy these activities and find them relaxing, you want to answer with a more wholesome activity you enjoy doing in your free time.
