About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel the world to unite it

ABOUT ME

Originally I'm from Hungary, where my relatives live and my parents are from.I spent over 20 Years to grow up in germany and get educated. The Western livestyle and philosophy just didn't do it to me, and without proper roots i was destined to travell. I left on a bicycle 10 Years ago and ended up in egypt and became a dive instructor with my own business and hous in dahab.
many things happened 2 years ago and i had to spent some time in Hungary and Germany to take care of my mom. I decided to do what i really like: travelling. I'm on the road again after driving a classical Enfield, motorcycle, in India and Nepal for the past 15 months and 25000km i arrived to thailand bangkok and looking into a new bike...loving it here so far

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the extend you won't ever regret haven't trying to live your dreams. Even if it's difficult sometime, i have to tell myselfe, that true hope is the only thing you have.
