Sports
Sport plays a big role in my life.
I played beach-volleyball at national level in Czechia (5th at U17 Championship) during high school, now I play more recreationally but I still participate in tournaments (3rd at Swiss University Games in 2025). This year I also joined an indoor volleyball club.
I have also played some ultimate frisbee (5th at the Swiss beach-ultimate championship)
Other sports : skiing, cross country skiing, hiking, swimming and more
Photography
Planespotting, landscape, sport or social events, I often have a camera within arms reach
Civil aviation
I have a keen interest in civil aviation. I enjoy learning how different aircraft components and systems work, about pilot procedures and even air incidents investigations.
Having also lived close to the Prague airport, I have spent countless afternoons watching and taking pictures of aircrafts.
