Hobbies & Passions

Spending time outdoors, staying active and doing what I love, this is how I keep both my mind and body in shape throughout the year.

Skiing – My Winter Passion

When I'm not teaching or playing Go, you'll often find me on the slopes during the winter season. Skiing has been a big part of my life since childhood and over the years it naturally turned into more than just a hobby.

Since 2015, I’ve been a licensed ski instructor, teaching both kids and adults near my hometown, Baia Mare. The small ski resorts in the area offer a great setting for beginners as well as those looking to sharpen their skills. Whether it’s someone’s first time on skis or they just want to feel more confident going downhill, I really enjoy helping anyone discover the joy of skiing.

If you’re ever in the area and want to hit the slopes together, feel free to reach out!

Tennis – Staying Active

Tennis is one of my favorite ways to balance the mental intensity of Go with physical activity. I enjoy it just as much as skiing and Go itself because it’s fast, fun and keeps me moving.

Whether I'm training, playing friendly matches or joining local tournaments, tennis helps me stay sharp and energized. It’s the perfect counterbalance to long hours in front of the Go board, whether online or over the board.
