I enjoy traveling, relaxing by watching tv series or movies and spending time with my friends. Traveling is an integral part of my way of life, it has allowed me to gain a better understanding of the world we live in, discover new cultures and make new friends. I collect magnets of every new location I visit!
I also enjoy water sports as well as hiking and skiing. I also spend a lot of time exploring new topics in the software engineering world.
