Life beyond
the desk.

What I care about
Six things I take seriously outside work.
Not hobbies I mention to sound interesting.
Things I actually build my week around.
Slow travel through Europe
Portugal, Italy, France, Denmark — I travel to understand places, not to photograph them from a distance. Longer stays, local food, and conversations that do not fit in a caption.
Movement & fitness
Road cycling resets the head. The gym adds the discipline that carries into how I handle complex accounts and long weeks.
Psychology & connection
Attachment, communication, and why people behave the way they do. Understanding people is not just useful at work — it is how I move through the world.
Continuous self-improvement
Structured courses, long-form books, and honest self-reflection. The rule I live by: every course produces a real project, every book produces changed behaviour — not just a highlight reel.
Nutrition & mental health
I track what I eat and how it affects energy, focus, and mood. Sleep, food, and exercise are not wellness hobbies — they are the infrastructure everything else runs on.
Gardening & slow living
Gardening teaches patience that no project management course can. Planting in autumn for spring is a mindset I bring to long sales cycles and multi-month delivery projects. The only fully analogue block in my week.
Travel log
Places worth going back to.
No tour groups, no rushed itineraries. I move slowly and pay attention.
Lisbon & Porto, Portugal
Two weeks between two cities. Morning work from tiled cafes, afternoons along the Tagus and the Douro, evenings with food that required no translation. The Atlantic light is unlike anything in Central Europe.
Naples, Italy
The Spanish Quarter on foot, rooftop views at dusk, and pizza that makes every other pizza an approximation. A city that does not apologise for itself.
Cirque de Gavarnie, French Pyrenees
A long day hike to a 422-metre waterfall. Nothing but trail, wind, and the occasional marmot. The kind of place that makes you quiet.
Copenhagen & Denmark
A country built around cycling, good design, and the quiet confidence of systems that work. Copenhagen showed me what a well-planned city feels like from a saddle.
Daily rhythm
Small rituals. Big compounding.
Morning
Morning start
Coffee, 20–30 minutes of a podcast or course module, and a clear plan for the day. No phone for the first 30 minutes.
Midday / After work
Movement block
A ride or gym session. The best ideas arrive somewhere between kilometre 20 and 40, or between sets. Non-negotiable.
Evening
Evening wind-down
One chapter or course lesson, a quiet meal, and a short reflection on what actually mattered today. Laptop closed early.
