What else ...

In my free time, I love staying active and challenging myself with different outdoor sports. Hiking, snowboarding, skiing, and wakeboarding are some of my biggest passions—I enjoy the thrill of the mountains just as much as the calm of the water.

I also have a strategic side and enjoy playing chess, which helps me stay sharp and think ahead. I find board games and puzzles a great way to connect with people and have fun while learning new strategies.

Beyond sports and games, I’m always up for exploring new places, dancing (especially Heels dance), and engaging in deep conversations about travel, culture, and personal growth. I love meeting like-minded people who share a passion for adventure and new experiences.
