One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

[update] i met my hungarian friend last week here in Prague. After freaking 7 years apart. 2015 I met him randomly in Himalaya!

I did a solo motorbiking over himalayan tibetan range in Ladakh. Solo covering more than 1000 kms over average altitude of 4000 meters with 200 cc motorbike with tent and some gasoline fuel in five days, almost knocked down by hypothermia at 4am in Pangong Tso Lake, death was never nearer.
and not often stay alert of sudden attack of Snow Leopard (though it is more afraid of you than you are afraid of it).
One unforgotten thing too, my motorbike chain got off before Khardung La pass. It sucked me up side down:(.

Another crazy story i was lost in the middle of hills of rocks somewhere in Hampi with a friend. it was around more than two hours from 7-9pm, and we were running out of water, and we skipped lunch since we spent all day long by the lake. Luckily we found a way out. It was way crazier than the way i tell the story here. And the best part was that the friend i was with wasn't freaking out despite the terrible situation, she stayed calm and put trust in me to find a way out.

Around 5 months later, we hitchhike Truck from Keylong to Leh Ladakh, the total hitchhike along Himalaya roads, through 4 passes was 28 hours. It makes us the longest hitchhike we ever did!

Teach, Learn, Share

Dont walk behind me, you may mick my arse, dont walk in front of me i may kick you arse, just walk beside me maybe we can save each others arses.

Maybe I'm not gonna teach, but I'm gonna share.

-There is reason why you have two ears and one mouth

-Don't forget to learn some Hindi before going to northern India

-If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, go wash your feet and stay back at home.

Swahili language is cool too, try learn that if you get time!
