About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel as much as possible, take it easy and enjoy life

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm a quite active person, interested in almost everything (sometimes it can be a real problem because a day doesn't have enough hours :) ).. I practiced capoeira for quite a long time, but for lack of time and motivation, unfortunately I quit. But I wouldn't be me if I didn't find something new that preoccupies my mind and uses my time :) Few years back I started to recycle old bikes and till now my work is generally recognized in Croatia and surrounding countries. You can see the bikes that I've recycled on my web site or you can search "Re.Cycles" on facebook. Next step in bike business is to make my own custom made frames. At the moment I'm still learning, but hopefully in due time I'll finally build my first bicycle frame.
Also, a couple years ago I started playing bike polo. It's lots of fun, but unfortunately the scene in Croatia is still very small. Because of that we sometimes go to other countries and play polo there, but that's quite nice as we meet new great people.
Apart from that I also manufacture little furniture peaces, for personal use (for now :) ) Of course, I like to travel a lot, but unfortunately it's not always possible (due to lack of money or time).. When I retire I hope to be like one of those rich people that travel around the world and spend their pension checks ;))

PHILOSOPHY

I work to live, not live to work.
Carpe diem!
