One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day I saved my thumb. I adore working with wood so I was working as a carpenter in Ukraine. One day, after few months of work, I was doing a new process and getting used to it. Actually, carpentry and especially work with carpenter machines are really dangerous and need from you the highest level of concentration. I knew that fact, but after maybe 1 hour of work I realized that I’m actually such a good carpenter and got more relaxed. Precisely at this moment a workpiece flew out of my hands and my thumb ended up in 5 mm near a spinning blade. If it had gotten a bit closer, I would have been writing this text 2x longer)))

Teach, Learn, Share

The main point of my trips is feeling the countries I am visiting, and of course it is impossible without meeting locals. I won’t lie: I have no money to pay for accommodation in all these cities I want to visit, but I’m such a weirdo, who can travel in a hobo style. I would be happy, if I could entertain someone and defeat someone’s lonely moment.
