Hobbies

My hobbies include:

  • Skateboarding: I particularly enjoy longboarding.
  • Swimming: I am an avid swimmer, loving the sport since the age of 4. I swam competitively in High School, reaching the 2014 Greek National Finals in the 4×100 freestyle relay. Now, I swim recreationally, as way to stay fit and healthy.
  • Basketball, soccer, tennis: I enjoy most sports actually and I am always happy to be exposed to new ones!
  • Chess: I have loved chess since I was little. I have no formal education in it, but am still able to enjoy the intricate strategies required to play chess well as well as the thought process behind reaching them. I have recently also started playing Go, which I also find fascinating and highly complex.
  • Literature: My favorite authors are Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, and my favorite works by them are “The Idiot” and “War and Peace”
  • Travelling: I really like traveling and witnessing different places around the world.
  • Cooking: I have picked up cooking during the 2020 quarantine and I am always eager to learn about new recipes.
  • Speed-cubing: I love solving Rubik’s cubes and twisty puzzles in general.
  • Hiking: I’ve hiked some trails in New Hampshire and Northern California
  • Kayaking: Ever since I was exposed to the sport in New Hampshire, I was hooked. I also enjoy paddleboarding!
  • Gaming: I love puzzle games with amazing graphics.
