Hobbies

Apart from being a software engineer, I have a couple of artistic hobbies that I enjoy very much, those being photography, digital and traditional drawing and 3D modelling. I also enjoy swimming whenever I can and I'm alway up to a game of ping-pong or a board game! I like travelling very much (goes hand in hand with photography) and exploring other cultures and their history.

I also enjoy reading fiction and also discussing books with others and I cannot get through the day without some music! :)
