Here are some things I enjoy doing in my free time.
Books
I love good stories! Reading (and listening to audiobooks) is my favourite way to relax. There are mostly science fictions, whodunits, pop-science books, and memoirs on my bookshelf.
My favourite book in 2020 was Superior by Angela Saini. I wish everyone read this eye-opener about race and the history of racism.
Currently, my favourite sci-fi is the Expeditionary Force series by Craig Alanson. The characters are funny, lovable, and driven. They have to deal with dangerous situations, angry aliens, and an annoying AI, with inspiring out-of-the-box thinking.
Being in nature
Cycling, canoeing, and hiking with friends are energising for me. I try to go outside as much as possible, even if its only a short stroll in the park.

Board games
Playing board games with friends and family is fun! I prefer strategy games like Carcassone or 7 Wonders. If you have a recommendation, I would love to hear about it!
