No hypocrisy, no pretending. Life is only given once!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
At age 18 I lived in a house in winter with no heating or water and the following summer I cycled about 4500 kms in about 37 days alone.
Traveled to great places [some ~50 countries] with my girlfriend (now my wife).
I've become a father. Twice :)
I've held several lectures about opportunities that could have changed the lives of many students for the better while volunteering and later managing an educational programme.
I've been doing charity.
I've been active in politics, trying hard to make a positive change.
