Hobbies

I recently became a father, and therefore the spare time I currently have is all dedicated to my daughter Evi.

Also love some regular quality time with my wife and go for example to a nice restaurant. 

I have a strong love for animals, and currently we have a cat to complete the household of 4.

We love to go to theme/amusement parks and to relax in our holidays as a family.
