Cinema and anything related to fantasy culture, such as fiction books, video games or Japanese animation, form an important part of my personal interests. Going to the cinema two or three times a week, I'm always enthusiastic to share and exchange ideas on these subjects.

I love playing board games and role-playing games with my friends. Games have developed in me a logical and competitive spirit, trying by all means to achieve my goals and win the game. Flexibility and adaptability to unforeseen situations have become watchwords in my personal and professional life.

I've been lucky enough to travel extensively, which over the years has forged my open-mindedness, adaptability and independence. Close by countries like Germany, England and Croatia, but also beyond Europe like the United States and Japan.

Travelling is a way for me to refocus on what's essential, to satisfy my thirst for discovery and to meet new people. With this in mind, I recently hitchhiked alone across France for an extremely enriching week. Encouraged by this experience, my next objective is to leave for 4 months to travel around different European countries, still hitchhiking.

Lately I've been trying my hand at musical composition, a field that has always fascinated me. Even though I already have a basic grounding in music, it's a very diverse, comprehensive and complex art, and I've had to persevere a lot to even get a foothold in this unknown world. There's still a long way to go to produce international hits, but I continue to have fun and learn at my own pace.

I've been playing guitar since the age of 10, switching from acoustic to electric guitar and back again. I was part of a band for several years, which taught me important values such as mutual aid and diligence. Far from my former level, I now only play on rare occasions with friends. I've also tried to learn the piano on my own, without much success so far, but it's only a matter of time!
