CURRENT MISSION

Learning as much Japanese as possible by August 2012

ABOUT ME

I'm an enthusiastic traveler who loves mountain climbing, hiking and cycling. I love to go to new places and learn about its history, its people and their culture. I would like to think about myself as easy going although I probably won't take sh*t from people who couldn't care less. I want to travel the globe, climb the highest mountain, trek the furthest trail and beyond!

Although...due to my unexplainable phobia to sharks, I tend to prefer to have my feet on solid ground.

PHILOSOPHY

I think life is short. Live it!!!

Интересы

Besides what is stated above, I'm an avid reader who constantly try to find new materials to read. I jog and cycle to keep my fitness level up and recently I started training in Jiujitsu which I find very interesting (and different) after training for 4 years in Karate.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I was on a solo cycling trip in Victoria, Australia along the ranges. It was raining, windy and freezing. Then for a minute or so, the sky opened, sun beams filled the sky and the grass glistened, the wind calmed and everything was still. It was a sight to behold and it brought a tear to my eye. Then I thought to myself, the past few days of suffering to see this was well worth it after all.
