About Me

A bit more about me

I'm naturally curious and probably a little too interested in collecting things, trying new experiences, and planning the next trip.

Travel has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy discovering new countries, cultures, and ways of living, and over the years I've been lucky enough to travel extensively across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond. Some trips are about exploring cities, others about hiking, sports, or simply seeing somewhere completely different.

I'm also a collector at heart. I've built up a LEGO room, alongside a growing Funko Pop collection and a few other things that have followed me across countries and apartments.

Sports are another big part of my life. I enjoy volleyball, tennis, padel, boxing, and pretty much anything competitive. I also love board games, play chess, follow football and Formula 1, watch far too much anime, and am always looking for a new hobby to get into.

This part of the website is really a collection of the things I enjoy, the places I've been, and some of the experiences that have shaped me.

I'm an economist by training and a strategy consultant by experience, with over seven years of consulting experience across the Middle East.

My career has taken me across different consulting firms, countries, industries, and types of problems.
