Interests

I am interesting in different things, mosty focusing on sports, science, reading, travelling and playing board or card games.
I really love watching basically any kind of sports, but I am a big fan of biathlon, football and tennis. I also love playnig football, ping-pong and muggle quidditch (here I even used to play for Polish national team on European Cup). But my biggest hobby are any kind of games that involve thinking and knowlage (chess, different kinds of complicated board games, every possible version of quizes and, my favorite Magic The Cathering TCG. The last one sometimes is even a reason for me to travell).
Also I love travelling, especially in mountains, but here my expiriences is quite limited: I've been only in Carpathian Mountains, Crimea, Tatra Mountains and Caucasus
Another my sphere of interests is science. I'm doing my phd in material science, focusing on developin a new kind of phase transformation model.
