Free time
I play sports mostly for fun. The problem is that my definition of fun usually involves a scoreboard, a stopwatch, or a results table.
Chess
I have played chess since the age of seven and competitively since nine. Along the way I played junior international events, the national top league, and captained teams. These days I stay involved mainly as a coach and organiser.

Coaching

Running
Running balances out desk work: measurable progress and time alone. I mix race pace with easy runs outdoors.

Football
Very average player. Very above-average attendance. Mostly in goal at friendly tournaments with chess players, where the competition is… let's say manageable.
Travel
31 countries and no ambition to turn it into a travel blog. But if you're going somewhere, there's a decent chance I'll have a tip on where to go.
And in case anyone's curious, here's the collection:
And I definitely don't plan on stopping. It's another topic I'm always happy to talk about, not just for small talk.
Your move.
Chess, running, bouldering, or just coffee and travel talk. Get in touch.
