CURRENT MISSION

After 7 years abroad I came back to my roots.

ABOUT ME

I'm a teacher, photograher and now I'm working in a big international company. I wanna travel around the world. So far I visited over 60 countries all over the world. One of the best trips was a hitchhiking trip around North America and a Trans-Mongolian trip. I would love to explore South America, Australia and New Zealand next.

PHILOSOPHY

Think positive no matter what happens to you! I believe that in life, we get what we think about. So if you're moaning and griping, you're not gonna change a thing!!! Our thoughts have the power of coming true sooner or later. It depends, of course, how intensively we think about the positive outcome. I believe I can attract positive situations, people and opportunities into my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a list of things I wanna do before I die. So far, I managed to:

See the northern lights in Iceland.

I ran with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. It gave me such an adrenaline rush!

I participated in the World's largest food fight - La Tomatina in Buñol, near Valencia in Spain.

I went to the Foam Party @ Amnesia and the Water Party @ Es Paradis in Ibiza, as well as see David Guetta live @ one of the most famous nightclubs - Pacha.

I walked the Camino de Santiago!!! Met amazing people along the way!

I went to Valencia for the world-famous, spectacular Las Fallas festival of fire.

I was hitchhiking with my friends from all over the world and we split up to increase our chances of thumbing down a ride. I was in a team with a friend from India. At one point, we got stuck far after midnight at the Polish-Slovakian border. The closest motels were miles away, and it was so freezing we wanted to crash just anywhere. I noticed an empty immigration officer's booth (since Poland and Slovakia are in the EU, borders virtually don't exist and you don't have to show passports) with a little window left ajar. We decided to crash there on a concrete floor. Creepy and freezing cold!!! After four hours of sleep, we woke up, teeth grinding. I thought my balls would turn into ice cubes, but fortunately, we survived and got a ride straight to Budapest half an hour after getting up =)

I've seen a historic event in Madrid when Atletico won the first Europa League title! To celebrate the victory at Neptune's square - priceless (well actually, it just cost a metro ticket and some booze).

I saw the semifinal game of the Euro2012 cup at the National Stadium in Warsaw (Germany vs Italy). That was the match when Balotelli scored two goals and took his jersey off to show off his six pack :)

I also saw the final games of the World Cup and the Euro Cup in soccer in Spain!!! Amazing experience to celebrate the victories in Spain!!!

I crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Cadiz (where Christopher Columbus set off) to the New World.

I survived the Bermuda Triangle.

I was on top of the tallest building in the World in Dubai - Burj Khalifa in Oct 2014.
