Hobbies

The world is full of wonders !

I have a passion for travelling. It gives me the opportunity to discover such wonders and to expand my mind by living in new places and meeting people with a totally different culture than mine. I also practice hiking, trekking, climbing and diving. More generally, I love activities from which I can see beautiful landscapes while achieving sports challenges.

Countries that I have already visited: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdoms and the United States.

Besides, I am also passionate about history and geography.
