Being a young disabled man full of energy does not mean that you can't vent this surplus through sports. Sea kayaking, expeditions and the thrill of open crossings are reachable even for those who spend their time sitting on a wheelchair. You "only" have to have enough will to push yourself and achieve your dream. I was lucky enough that Gal Jakič, a Slovenian Paralympian and alpine skier, agreed to join me for the speed record for kayaking the more than 500 km of the Croatian cost.

Fedja Marušič, Slovenian kayaker, participant of Olympic games in Atlanta and Sidney was always fascinated, how two places where he lived and paddled - Solkan, his home town and Ljubljana, where he studied and lived during the last years are only 100 km apart, but to connect them through the water way it is more than 5000 km long journey. This longtime dream finally came true. I was talking to Fedja just after the Slalom World Cup in Tacen where he helped to organize the event.

Great idea to go to Colombia!

This wonderful country is rich in amazing and unexplored rivers and has an absolutely perfect climate, stunning landscapes and beautiful women. However, if you are planning a trip to Colombia you must be very patient because nothing over there is easy to do, it could be ordering a breakfast or finding someone who can drive you to the river's put in.

We understood it was not going to be an easy trip when, at the airport's baggage reclaim, only one of four kayaks arrived and no paddles! I can sum up the first four days spent in the degenerated city of Bogotá between hostel and airport in one sentence: “!Espera! Estamos en Colombia!”; isn't it funny that the Spanish word "espera=wait" is so similar to the Italian word "spera=hope"??

The desire to go to Patagonia occurred in my youth, when we spent the days climbing up and dreaming of big rocks, trips and expeditions. Ancient dream of climbing the legendary granite giants such as Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre has always been present in my mind, yet it remained only a dream. But the desire to go to Patagonia came true. However, in a slightly different, rather, an entirely different way.

This time, as it usually happens, we carried with us loads of suitcases & backpacks overloaded with various equipment. We were carrying everything you need for a real expedition, but this time we didn't climb. We went cyclyng, kayaking & trekking …for days.
