History, sports (football), quad off-road riding, music, travel, and current affairs

I have a strong interest in history, regularly watching history-focused channels such as Viasat History. I actively follow football and enjoy visiting stadiums across Europe whenever possible. In my free time, especially on weekends, I enjoy quad off-road riding on county roads, fields, and forest trails, which helps me stay active and connected with nature. I also enjoy listening to music, particularly jazz and contemporary commercial music. In addition, I closely follow current affairs and stay informed about the political situation and overall trajectory of my country.
