Tourism & Travel
English term or phrase: family & friends entertainment
in the descrition of a person's main interests, preceded by soccer and followed by travelling for instance

my doubt so far is whether "friends entertainment" refers to "inviting/entertaining friends" or if instead the whole sentence points to the idea "having fun with one's family and friends" (whether friends are invited at one's home or not)...

C'est la piste que je privilégie, même s'il c'est le genre de questions à verifer en dernier lieu avec le client
