More about me
Putting work aside, I try to be as active as possible. First of all, I'm in love with Japan and Japanese culture. Therefore, I'm learning the Japanese language and training martial arts, specifically Oyama Karate. I have a blue belt with a yellow stripe (7th kyu) and have plans to achieve even more.
Besides karate, I'm also a frequent gym guest, working towards achieving a healthy lifestyle.
Not only do I love to work out, but I'm also a keen book reader and literature lover. My interests aren't limited to reading – I'm trying to write my own novel, and sometimes I even create short stories.
My third love is gaming. I especially love RPG games and platformers (Mario forever!). I value a good gaming experience, creative level design, and great stories. I'm also obsessed with logical riddles – if a game has them, count me in!
I also have two small, black voids, also known as my beloved cats.
