“I am a very social individual with a passion for drawing, reading, photography, travelling, camping and outdoor activities.

Since childhood I’ve been practising sports from swimming to different kinds of martial arts. My first passions were karate, judo, tai chi chuan and swimming. Most recently I tried kung fu, arching and shooting and I loved them all not just for the sport themselves but also for what you can learn from them which is discipline and focus. These skills have been helping me not only in my private but also professional life.

Last but not least I love spending time with family and friends wherever and whenever I can. This includes family pets by the way!”
