302            Since May 2026, I volunteer at <a href="https://www.nikolauspflege.de">Nikolauspflege</a> in Stuttgart on weekends, accompanying children with visual impairments and helping with their daily activities. The experience has taught me a lot about how blind people organize their everyday lives.

323        <p class="text">I love capturing the places I travel through — landscapes, fleeting moments, and beautiful scenes from around the world. Hiking trips are a favourite excuse to bring the camera out (while my wife documents everything as a vlogger). Travelling and collecting these glimpses of the world is something I genuinely treasure.</p>
