About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Nous devenons responsables pour toujours de ce que nous avons apprivoise. (A. de Saint-Exupery)

ABOUT ME
Trying different types of sport (orienteering, running, skiing, cycling, etc.) and life adventures. My family (l have 2 sons - 10y.o. and 15 y.o. ) shares all my interests.
We travel much. During hot seasons we have many orienteering competitions. Sometimes we make a short hike or a mountain trekking. In winter kids are fast at nordic skiing (I started this season too:)) Once or twice a winter we move for snowboarding or alpine skiing.
My elder son is a table games and strategies expert. He plays acoustic guitar and draws anime. My younger son cares for electronics and mechanisms, computer games are among his favourites also.

Interests

In my "last lives" I might even become a field petroleum geologist - the year 2011 spoiled all my plans... Since that year I am the only one who is responsible for the family. Most of my day takes the job in a small sport shop of my friends, different sport activities and travelling - the last two I share with my kids.

  • yoga
  • traveling
  • snowboarding
  • sports
  • tourism
  • marathons
  • orienteering

Music, Movies, and Books

I read little now. T.Pratchett are among my favourites.
We hear music of different kind while in the car - from bards to rock ballads. Sometimes the kids sing loudly...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

They are not the things to share in public.

Teach, Learn, Share

How not to lose hope when everything is lost.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A night stay under my roof, food, talks - not much time, in fact...
Usually I don't have time to walk with my guests through the town. And I don't give keys - the guests have to adjust my timetable.
