About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"To meet my Maker"

ABOUT ME

"" I don't like and don't believe in "should" things. I believe Life is beautiful. People say I am friendly and I can make them happy . Sometimes I struggle to make myself happy, but I am trying all the time. I am from Eastern Slovakia therefore very straightforward, outgoing and - as rest of the country says about us - a bit crazy :-) ""

I wrote these words when I made my profile in 2007 and they all still stand strong. But Life has brought me through so many things and places in last few years that I feel like it has been solid three or four decades of a regular Life. And it is still not stopping. Learning, trying, falling and finding ...again, again and again. So I just wonder, will it ever stop?

When I move I hitch-hike, when I sleep I camp or stay with locals, when I travel I am alive.

PHILOSOPHY

La vida es bella.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First was when I was born, then when I got aware of myself. From then it has been a roller coaster. Sunsets, broken limbs, moments of glory, moments of shame, smiles, tears, close calls, slow times, darkness, dreams, merlots, sailing the high seas,tastes of all kinds ...And places, many, many places. And people, many , many people, from all walks of Life. Life really is so nice. Much more then just the job and car in the garage. But it's fine if you have different opinion. One amazing thing? No way! Too many. I'll tell you later.

Teach, Learn, Share

Many things about Nature - I can teach and I want to learn more. And cooking and sports and being a survivor in this crazy world :-) Plus, I have traveled... one could say quite a lot... So I have few stories and tips if someone is interested :-)
