Hobbies

My main hobbies are definitely digging into new things, self-education and self-development through for example YouTube, travel, sports, listening to music and exploring new types of technology. I have a big interest in new technologies such as cryptocurrencies and AI, how I can embrace it mostly in my personal life and who knows for what it might serve in the future business-related. Besides, I love being in an international setting, with a different language, a different culture, different customs and above all, I really appreciate my time around great friends and my own family.

In the last couple of years, I have slowed down the pace of fulltime travelling as I got married in the time and we've got a lovely daughter now too. The travelling has become more a couple of trips throughout the year, which has even reignited the buzz again when being out and about. Besides, I have left my country of birth since 9 years, and everyday when being abroad it still feels a little like being on a vacation. Back when I was younger, you used to stumble upon a different culture, languages etc. mostly when we used to go on our trips a couple of times a year in Europe, however, now I get to live it, working and living in an international environment, where I even speak the language and a foreign culture to me, day in day out.
