Adventure Race is not only a sport to me. Life doesnt always have to be perfect and pain demands to be felt. Adventure Race shows you that! Go explore and lose your inclination for monotonous security. Adopt a helter-shelter style of life that will at first appear to you as crazy, but once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beuaty. My dream is to show this beauty to other people 😉
