Running, Airsoft games, Camping, Outdoor/indoor sports
I love the great outdoors. Mountaineering, hiking, camping were my past time. I play airsoft mil-sim games with friends and collect gun replicas. We did a lot of travelling to run international races (marathons). Did the Dubai marathon 3 times, Paris, Osaka, Berlin and Boston (virtual) marathons. I love to cook and prepare meals for the family and watch movies on rest days. Loves gardening too.
