Nature related activities like fishing, hunting, hiking, horseback riding, camping or bushcrafting are my passion. I enjoy extensively learning and watching the local animal and plant species, as well as the fauna and natural habitats beyond Europe. Have traveled and hiked extensively through the north-western U.S. If I am not outdoors, I am at the shooting range, practicing my marksman skills, or helping people around my neighborhood. Besides these activities, I own an ATV which I love to work on to keep it in good shape. In addition, I am a member of an Animal Shelter where exotic animals are kept. As a voluntary animal warden, my duties are to handle dangerous or venomous reptiles and care for them. Also, I am part of a committee for containment and removal of invasive animal and plant species which can cause a huge impact on the native flora and fauna.
