Photography, Martial Arts, Electronics, Rock Climbing, Nature.

I have a keen interest in both nature and wildlife photography. In the realm of martial arts, I explore various disciplines to understand their traditions and values; my primary focus lies in karate, where I have achieved a black belt. My curiosity extends to electronics, encompassing both modern and retro computers and consoles. I enjoy delving into the components that power them and gaining proficiency in repairs. Rock climbing became a part of my pursuits thanks to my girlfriend. In the summer of 2023, I had the privilege of exploring the Canadian Rockies in Alberta with experienced rock climbing guides. This interest aligns seamlessly with my love for nature, prompting me to spend my summers outdoors, engaging in activities such as camping and pursuing my other hobbies.
