About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make it to the north pole and meat the Penguins.

ABOUT ME

Hmmm, my least favourite questions!!! Well, I am software engineer, not the nerd type though ;). Every day I wake up thrilled that people pay me to do my hobby :) After years of hard labour I finally got chance to start fulfilling one of my dreams; Travelling and exploring different cities and cultures. And one day I would like to make a trip round the world without using a plane; only buses, trains or boats.

Whenever I arrive into a new place, I like to go for a walk, maybe get lost and try to find my way back to hotel. Best way ever to discover an area;) Best way to explore a place is by seeing it through locals eyes (much better than following a travel guide or tourist agency). They always know the fun places to visit, delicious places to eat and can tell different kind of country secrets ;)

I like to be active and outdoor but I also like chilling out in a comfy chair to enjoy a book or watch a good movie. I like to take photos, but never to be in one of them. I hate bananas, more than kids hate needles lol . My greatest passion is cooking, especially with/for the right person. Well, best conversations is usually in kitchens ;) I love travelling by bicycle round countries and have huge passion about diving. I cannot get enough of both. Since moved to Austria, I been doing more and more hiking. I would never say no to a good hike.

well, there is more to find out, but leave that for people who will meet ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, been inside pyramids, and seen many ancient stuff that was done with basic tools that left people with all the technology speechless

Went to Netherland, bought a bike and cycled round cities.

Best weight to explore the world or discover a new country is to travel by bike. I bought a new bike recently and would take it with me on all future trips to discover places.
