About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find a healthy way of life for the long run

ABOUT ME

I'm 40,male, Hungarian. I worked 9 years in IT and I had enough of sitting behind the desk.
So I started travelling and looking for other ways to work and develop myself.
Recently I've been volunteering in a lot of EU personal development projects. Also working in outdoor trainings for youngsters and adults.
I'm right now in Nagykovacsi, Hungary and sometimes in Budapest, being a fresh father again and doing some trainings for mentors.

And also started working for an outdoor company, guiding trips, which was a dream for a while.

I'm generally very interested and curious to try out anything I hear about or see.
Especially if it's extreme and has to do with outdoors....and food :)

PHILOSOPHY

People (myself included :) think too much...time to wake up, smell the flowers and feel what is really around us.
