As a child, I was a competitive canoeist, which instilled in me a strong work ethic and a "need" for movement. Today, in addition to kayaking, I regularly participate in a variety of other sports (such as beach volleyball, badminton, cycling, and skiing), which serve as my "reward" and meditation. It is also important for me to explore and try to understand everything around us, whether it is law, technology, current events, or nature. That is why, even on vacation, I don't primarily look for rest, but rather for new experiences, escapes into nature, and encounters with different cultures and perspectives on life.
