Bouldering
Arguably, I spent way too much time bouldering. I started when I was 27, which means I will never achieve anything spectacular in this sport. Yet, nothing makes me more angry than not being able to climb a particular problem. Although the images might give the impression that I climb outside a lot, 99% percent of the time I am in a bouldergym.
To complement my bouldering I have done, and occasionally still do, top-rope climbing, running, yoga, free running/parkour, tricking, ninja warrior stuff. I like to point out that I am an amateur in all of these.
Evolution
I am fasctinated with (human) evolution. I can spent hours looking at phylogenetic trees to understand the specific links between different species. Since I have never formally studied this topic, I am by no means an expert. More an enthousiast. However, that does not prevent me from talking about evolution. I have given a number of lectures and during them I always show off my collection of fossiles and skull replicas of human ancestors.
Travel
I love to explore the world, both cultural aspects, as well as its nature. City trip or hiking through the mountains, I would take both. I share this passion with my lovely fiancee, Jonna. I sometimes believes we have more travel plans than we will ever be able to achieve in our lifetime.
