Interests
Volleyball
When I was a teenager, I used to play volleyball quite seriously for a few years. (Un)luckily I never grew up tall enough to be considered for any professional teams.
I re-started playing in England after quite a few years of inactivity, where I co-founded a Volleyball Club in Crawley and I am currently competing at amateur level in the local Surrey and Sussex Volleyball Leagues.
Skiing
I only started skiing very recently, but this is by far my favorite hobby now. I love the Alps, especially the Dolomites in Italy and the area around Chamonix in France - even in the summer they are great places for hiking and relaxing away from the busy cities.
Or maybe I am really in for the apres ski drinks afterwards and the amazing food on the slopes?
Competitive Gaming
My first ever attempt at joining the competitive gaming scene was back in 2001, when I discovered an amazing game called StarCraft and started visiting the local internet cafe way too often.
8 years and tens of tournaments later (I was lucky enough to visit Greece, Serbia, the Czech Republic and many towns in Bulgaria), I decided that this is not something you can make a career out of.
(2020 edit - Boy, was I wrong!)
Table football
I used to spend almost all my pocket money on table football back in high-school. I am not sure what I learned or earned out of this, but it was loads of fun!
About 15 years later (in 2019), I won the table football tournament organised by the social committee in my company - maybe that is what it was all about?
