chess, cooking, team sports, watching documentries, reading, Readingocumentaries,

Since playing chess I learnt a lot about myself and how I could handle adversity, how to think in long term goals, or when to switch into immediate mode base. I Enjoy the creative process of meal preparation and the satisfaction of sharing delicious dishes with others. Team sports thought me a lot of how to work towards a common goal as a team. Watching documentaries let me enter a new world and escape reality. I love reading and doing research on subjects.
