Interests and Activities |
|
|
|
I have played chess in a chess club since I was 10 and during my study
I have played in the 1. Bundesliga (1. league in Germany) for Bochum, but
also in the Austrian and Slovenian league. During my vacations I have played
a lot of tournaments in all of Europe. As far as physical activities are
concerned, I have played basketball in a club for ten years but I also
like to play squash and table-tennis. Besides, I enjoy travelling. |
