hobby - pronunciation in Spanish

Hello, I found such a sentence in my Spanish textbook: ''Su hobby: viajar a países exóticos.'' I don't know how to pronounce ''hobby'' in Spanish. Is it the same as in English or without ''h'' like in Spanish? Thanks so much for your help.

I have never used the English variant while conversing in in Spanish, but I think have heard other Spanish speakers say it with English pronunciation, including the "H" sound - 005faa61, Dec 8, 2013
They drop the ´h´Julian. - annierats, Dec 8, 2013

It is spanglish or at least a word borrowed from English, but you would still drop the "h" and say "obby".
