  • Description

    A Portuguese boat builder asked me once, while we were preparing the a deck for painting, what I enjoy doing more than anything else. I answered, without giving it to much thought, something like: “Having different lives”. Turns out, it’s kind of true. I easily adapt to changing lifestyles and cultural surroundings… and do enjoy that. So, I lived with my wife in several countries and did various things: guided mountaineering and MTB tours through Caucasus, Alps, Tianshan, Norway; taught English to kids in China; built and fixed sailboats in Portugal; fixed bicycles and built mountain bike trails in Russia. Finally became an IT guy just recently))
    Some things don’t change though: cycling is my passion, including engineering, trail building, training and scientific sides of it. If there is no bike around – running and swimming will do.
    I currently stay in Serbia, and my wife went to Russia for Summer months. At the same time I work online and miss physical work. This is how I ended up here ;-)

    I can’t claim to be an expert in anything except bicycles and cycling. But it also means, that I have competence in basic mechanics, material properties, shoveling dirt, nutrition etc.
    I am meticulous and have always been good at jobs which require patience and attention.
