I crossed the Ukayali River and ventured deep into the Peruvian jungle during the rainy season. Despite the challenging conditions, I managed to survive unscathed and avoided becoming a feast for the swarms of mosquitoes. Against all odds, I emerged from the jungle unharmed, with newfound respect for the power and beauty of the natural world.

I am a snowboard and ski instructor and I always spend the winter season on the slopes. In addition, I try my hand at various sports, from rock climbing to paragliding to scuba diving. I cannot live without constant movement, so if I am not attending specific sports classes, I simply put on my shoes and go for a run. Besides sports, I love all kinds of art and cultural events, which is why despite my immense love for nature, I have to stay in the city from time to time. I love traveling, of course, without which my life would probably make no sense.
