About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To run until I run out of destination.

ABOUT ME

I am an IT professional with 20 years of experience and a paragliding pilot during the last 13
years. I am always eager to make new friends from all over the world, so that we can share wonderful moments. I am full of energy, funny, ingenious, motivated, hard working, and enthusiastic about traveling, my work and my sport. I view Social networks as a way to find new friends and communicate with foreign people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer POP Music.
In my opinion the best music is the one which makes you dance, besides, we need some relaxing and light musics too, especially during work hours.
To be honest I'm a little lazy to collect musics, so I trust the machine learning algorithms of Spotify ;).
So many movies and books which I will describe later...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
