ABOUT ME

In the epic story, he is described as the most heroic man of the modern times. The hero, Paul Bodnar, is a seemingly invincible person with all the extraordinary traits required of a hero. He is able to use his super-human physical strength and courage to put people before himself. He encounters hideous giant snakes, crocodiles, and the most ferocious of beasts, but he never fears the threat of death. His leadership skills are superb, he takes photographs of his achievements during his many adventures. Paul is the ultimate epic hero who risks his life countless times for immortal glory and for the good of others. He has a deep compassion for the love of people and animals of all types, great or small. Born 1974 "Year of the Tiger" and a Cleveland Ohio native, his life changed after a near death experience on a Navajo indian reservation missionary trip at age 14 in Rough Rock Arizona. In life it brings him to his knees and shatters his heart, being, and soul, over time he regains insight and acknowledges life in a new light, stronger and with profound awareness of our time spent here on earth. During the teenage years he spent his time feeding and caring for the homeless people or visiting sick and elderly in the hospital with pastor Jack Ruff. Since then, full of light, and knowing that people are luminescent beings not this crude matter, it's kind of fun for him to do the impossible. Paul has traveled the earth for humanitarian and wildlife reasons, having now circled the globe twice.

World Traveler and Global Perspective, one's "point of view", the choice of a context for opinions, beliefs and experiences. Enjoy Waterfalls. Year of the TIGER (Wood), born September 18, 1974 the Chinese Zodiac is amazingly accurate: Tiger people are difficult to resist, for they are magnetic characters and their natural air of authority confers a certain prestige on them. They are tempestuous yet calm, warm-hearted yet fearsome, courageous in the face of danger yet yielding, soft and mysterious in unexpected places. They enjoy a life full of challenges and unexpected events, like visiting unusual places and meeting interesting or outstanding people. Other people in their area are easily attracted by the tiger's enthusiasm and way of life. Tigers find pleasure in the unpredictable, and while other people would rather make a backward step, they are not afraid to explore the new and unusual. But it is not that simple to interest the Tiger. What they really need is first-hand experience. Usually open and frank, these people are likely to withdraw and can be aggressive when trapped. As soon as the Tiger has regained their sense of security their confidence also returns, enabling them to set out once more. These people usually tend to trust their instincts, though there is another side of their personality, which assesses situations thoughtfully before they launch any actions. Their friends usually secretly admire their determination and optimism, though sometimes may find it complicated to share the Tiger's enthusiasm and can be pushed away and left behind. Although Tigers can be courageous and generous friends, if they are not able to achieve what they want, they can be inflexible and self-centered. So if your friend was born in the year of the Tiger, there will be highs and lows in your friendship, but the friendship itself will remain firm.
