Moving to Malta in 2020 was a great move for my physical health. I discovered adventure sporting like trail running, swim runs, scuba diving, free diving, rock climbing, and many more!

- Ran my first ultra marathon Sofia Spring360 (2024)
- Ran the Gozo Ultra Trail 50K (2024)
- Went on my first mountaineering trip (2024)
Reflection, learning & challenges
The most valuable thing I learned at my university was the concept of self-directed learning. I still use it all the time to give structure to my life. Making elaborate plannings, goal setting and reflecting, they’re all super valuable skills.
Each year I start off by making an annual planning. You can read my 2023 yearly plan here.
During the year I share reflections on these goals on this blog in various forms.
And not to forget, in the same vein as this very serious modus vivendi, I thoroughly enjoy setting up silly challenges.
Like my challenge become an acknowledged soup boy.
Or the challenge to walk around the perimeter of Malta.
And of course my annual reading challenges.
