ABOUT ME

If my memory doesn't fail me, the first time I saw daylight was on the 30th of October 1984. After this event nothing really worthwhile happened, until I fell in love with a certain special two-wheeled vehicle that's propelled by one's own effort: namely, the bicycle.

After finishing the Primary School of Hungarian Language Teaching in Kürt (Strekov), I attended the Vocational School of Civil Engineering in Ógyalla (Hurbanovo). Whenever I had the chance I cycled to my dorm. After graduating and working for two years I started to study Cultural Organization at the Peter Pazmany Catholic University in the Faculty of Janos Vitez in Esztergom. The reason
for choosing this field was that I had been the leader of the youth club in Kürt (Strekov) and I realized that this was something I liked doing.

I have always been adventurous and have been thinking of going on a longer bike tour for a while now...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd like to see the whole world. In 2012 I reached the top of Mount Blanc and I was in Paris (2 months, 4000 km by bike off course). In 2011 I went on a bigger tour - 4 months, 8000 km, 11 countries. I would like to ride to Nordkapp, Porto is also one of my dreams. But my biggest dream is the Karakorum Highway and climbing the montain Elbrus. I'm really thinking about a tour around the word.
