About Me

CURRENT MISSION

a year without travelling is a wasted year

ABOUT ME

I work as a tour guide and freelance journalist.

Last year I spent in New Zealand on Working Holiday program. It was awsome experience. Life on the road and changes all the time. Many places, jobs and people I've met. I really enjoyed the country. Kiwi lifestyle is truly appealing for me. I started to do tramping and camping. Thanks to that journey, I became interested in healthy eating and environmental issues.

I love travelling beacuse it's the best way of learning. It's like hands-on course of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Turn around a globe, close your eyes and show a place by finger on the globe. Next go there!
I would like do this :)
