One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

walking through the snow around drei-zinnen (3 teeth) with my family in the italian dolomites was a very special thing.
having a friend showing me seals in the pacific ocean was very cool!
waking up on the shore line after a night spent with friends - there are very few things that can match that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to work as a tour-guide in the USA. i can share information and experience about traveling in the US and American history.
i can debate and come to ideas with other people.
I'm excellent in navigation and orienteering and can share a lot on this topic and maybe some knowledge about outdoors living.
I would like to improve my surfing skills, especialy kite-surfing.
i'd like to try and learn any kind of new extreme-sport.
