One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved two people from choking.

Cycled from Milano to Bratislava in 11 days, for fun.

Trekked in Kazakhstan at 4000m in unbeaten mountain.

Hitch hiked alone from Ljubljana to Munich.

Assisted a guy who suffered a car bomb attack (he later died).

Assisted a seven year old who got run over by a car (he just suffered a broken leg and was fine a few weeks later).

A friend gave me a boat.

Teach, Learn, Share

Eat more nuts, legumes and veg. Less meat. It is the simplest and most effective way for us to live healthier lives.

Going 'green' is the best present we can give to ourselves and our children.

I listen and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I learn.

Even truth is relative.

When I am happy, then I will know all.

It is comfortable to let others take on responsibility. But it is far more rewarding to assume responsibility.

We like to eat because being fat reflects a higher probability of surviving in the long run. But today we don't need to be fat because we will always have food available. Worse, eating has become a pleasure unto itself with no connection to survival during cold winters, to the extent that eating too much is a real health problem. So maybe it is time for us to rethink our relationship with food. It should remain a source of pleasure but we should look at complimenting it with other sources of pleasure that are not harmful to us. And we might just discover that we actually find more pleasure and peace.

What I Can Share with Hosts

i have travelled to a few countries and I like different experiences so I have quite a few stories to share. I find different perspectives and ideas, sometimes called lateral thinking, intriguing. And I am always looking at breaking my own paradigm to grow into a more complete person.
