How would you describe your relationship with nature?

I am part of nature just like trees, stones, rivers and animals.

If Mother Nature could talk, what do you think she would tell us humans?

I think Mother Nature speaks to us on a regular basis.

Which expedition experience has shaped you most as a person?

Gobi. After losing 24 kg in 2 months of walking, I realized that I am not immortal. This expedition broke down all my emotions into prime factors.

What basic qualities should your expedition partner have?

He must be well organized.

Which LYO product can’t you imagine going on an expedition without?

Pasta is a must as it is the fuel for most of my trips.

If you were not an athlete, who would you be?

I'm still looking for the answer to this question because I feel like soon I'll have to stop doing what I've been doing.

Why expeditions and exploration then?

Because I'm curious and I like being outdoors.
