Very laid back and open-minded, I worked as a microlectronic designer for 10 years and then left the job to travel more, occasionally working as a photographer.
In 2015 I did the Pacific Crest Trail, that's a national scenic trail, that runs 2600+ miles, from Mexican to Canadian border, and this year (2017) I'm doing this again, I'm way excited about that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I had read a book "Dharma bums" I was so inspired that two moths later I was sitting on Matterhorn, in Sierra Nevada (Kerouac climbed the mountain and wrote about it in the book). Well, it's not that amazing when I'm telling this story, but it really changed my perspective on life and it's amazing how something can touch you so deep in ways you couldn't imagine!
