my life

A green glacial valley in Serra da Estrela: a stream winds through it between rocky slopes, with hazy mountains and clouds beyond
Weathered granite outcrops on a ridge of Serra da Estrela, dry grass in front and a wide valley under a blue sky with clouds
A dark blue mountain lake in Serra da Estrela, its rocky shore below granite slopes and a hazy plain far below

I fell in love with hiking after moving to Portugal. Every year, my friends and I go hiking to recharge in Portugal's nature.

Who lives in Porto and doesn't surf?

Huge waves breaking at Nazaré, with people watching from the cliff path above the sea

In Ukraine, I spent my time with BMWs, visiting drift championships and street racing events. Years later, I'm still loyal to BMW.
