CURRENT MISSION zeitgeist; live'n catch the moment... ABOUT ME I am very calm man, no stress no problem :) I can solve all the problems with presence of mind. People say that i am a good listener. I always give advice to my friends while they are taking decisions, and the said decision with my advice always works :) [Finally i became a problem analyser/solver in my professional life unfortunately!!]I love adrenalin, in the past my hobbies were mountaineering, hanggliding and i liked doing those; but keep in mind that i can not risk my life for anything because i love living. I had an enduro motorbike, now i have sport touring motorbike and it makes me feel the adrenalin. Once upon a time i had one outdoor activity in my portfolio; so i was riding bicycle regularly. But since i change my life style with new job and new city riding a bike was impossible. But i created some space in my life again after 2 years and now i ride again some of sundays.
