- Sleeping at the cemetery in Slovenia during heavy raining.
- Camping inside the Zagreb train station (in a tent)
- Having a rest in the genuine Siberian sauna in Arshan, next to the Russian-Mongolian border

- 3 months of hitch-hiking around Europe after one week of dating
- two days horseback ride in the monstrous Kyrgyz mountains without any riding skills
- throwing stones into Afghanistan over Pamir river... from Tajikistan...
