One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done: During my short life, I was able to accomplish some of my dreams that I had when I was a kid.
I made trustful and amazing Friends.
I have for a job one of my passions. Photography ;)
Learned to do and participate in sports like swimming, hiking on mountains, rock climbing and triathlon.
Dancing salsa, bachata is my latest big passion.
Traveled (of course) to other countries and met with local people there.
Seen: All what I have seen so far through all my travels, was unique and very exciting experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach you: I can show you how you can take technically good pictures and give you short lessons in Photoshop ;)
Swimming lessons if pool or sea is around.
And I can show you the basic steps and some moves in Salsa and bachata ; )
Learn from others: I'm open to learn everything that will make me a better person. The most interest for me is, when someone wants to share his knowledge (whatever this is) with other people.
Share with others: All the kind of conversations, cooking, eating, exercising, dancing, walking around, cycling, rock climbing, listen to live music, are some of my favourite things to do.
