Hobbies

Cheerful & Enthusiastic

I am deeply passionate about outdoor activities, with a special love for camping, fishing, and aquaristics. Nature and the open air inspire me, and I find joy in exploring the natural world through these hobbies.

My interest in technology drives me to innovate, particularly in 3D printing. While I don’t consider it a major achievement, I have secured a utility model protection for a modified umbrella handle, which reflects my drive to create practical solutions through design and engineering.

I also have a strong fascination with science, especially physics and space exploration. I am captivated by the mysteries of the universe and the progress of rockets and space technology, always curious to learn more and follow advancements in the field.

In my personal life, I cherish the simple pleasures of photography and spending time in my garden, where I find peace and inspiration.

Someday, I will buy a yacht and embrace the romance of the seas. Born in a coastal town, I have a deep love for the scent of the sea, and I long to explore the world with my wife, drawn by the allure of the open ocean.
