ABOUT ME
I truly enjoy outdoor activities and motorcycle tourism. Travelling and adapting to new cultures is really rewarding for me.
PHILOSOPHY
“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!” - HST

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A few years of skateboarding was pretty cool for me dozen of years ago
Being crushed at Iron Maiden gig
Whale watching at the Northern tip of Iceland
Dolphin watching at the Northern coast of Bali
Scuba-diving at seeing huge monsters on the best reefs without license (got one already!)
Bungee jumping and coasteering in natural places!
knee-downs with sparks, pretty cool at the first time
rafting through avatarish waterfalls and jungle
living on a football-pitch-sized islands with good pack of friends in the remote exotic country
trying to get through regular jungle on the at least not suitable bike to national park before the darkness would settle - stressful and so rewarding to see huge sea turtles on the beach stretch afterwards
climbing active volcanoes through clouds of smelly smoke
I enjoyed many things and try to pursue all my cool ideas :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I know some languages which I would love to improve
I always eagerly listen a good story or just an experience about big and small trips and travels. By drinking local beer.
