www.about.me/magkalisz

I always search for something..i search i find and i start searching again :) hopefully one day i'll stop ;) .... Im a traveler and a nomad deep within my soul...
sometimes im fast and sometimes im slow
sometimes im open and sometimes im closed...
sometimes im making earthquakes and sometimes im making peace

i provoke myself&others to think and feel and change even if it hurts....
honesty is my first name
i lost on my way the ability to pretend...if its bad its bad ....if its good its good

the happiest when i move around/ski/bike/meet with people....during winters i live in the Alps and guide/teach skiing, I spent two summers in Iceland working as a guide on whale-watching boats...
most money i earn i spend on travelling.....usually i try to work as little as possible and travel as much as possible...seems like stable life is not my kind of thing
i cant live against myself just to fulfil society standards&satisfy others...
doing so im exposing myself to both: criticism and admiration- i try not to feed on any of those...
other than that im rather highly overrated ;)

PHILOSOPHY

"it's not your job to love me... it's my job" :)
"if it doesnt challenge you it wont change you"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

connecting with soul-mates and letting myself to love... other silly things ive done that gave me a feeling of amazement: skydiving above Lake Taupo, bungy- jumps in Quinnstown, Tongarrino crossing ( all in NZ), off piste skiing in the Alps,walking along the coast paths in Cornwall, swimming with dolphins in open ocean - south coast of New Zealand, getting lost in Iceland, whale-watching in North Atlantic, cycling through Scandinavia, lying on the grass and watching the clouds go by

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you how to calm down and get crazy..... pack a backpack for a trip in less than 10 mint... miss a plane and buy the wrong air plane ticket.....and im pretty good in alpine skiing :D so can show you some tricks!.....
you can teach me patience!
