Tanzania Kilimanjaro

So, after few days of hiking in the national park Kilimanjaro, we succeed to climb Uhuru peak, the highest one of Kilimanjaro. It was amazing! All the team is fine, and we are on the way back to Kibo hut.

MACEDONIA Mount Belasica

You know when you have those amazing days, when the work is not work - but is joyful, funny and wonderful time? Like you are playing and enjoying all day, like a child? So, that was my all day working with the amazing team of Euronews - with Theirry Winn and Denis Loctier , and recording on the beautiful high meadows and hills of Belasica mountain & Koleshino waterfalls. They are so such a professional team! At the end we do really create so lovely video, on the shiny mountain Belasica (someone call Belasica also Orbelo... during the antiquity for example - which means blazing or shining mountain. It was known for Dionysos cult too. ) These videos were made for promoting the beautiful places in Macedonia, and I am so happy that one of the things in these videos was also a mountain of my town, where I made so many training to climb the peaks around the world. 🙂 Thanks for that wonderful time Thierry and Denis!

MACEDONIA STRUMICA

People from the city who achieved significant results in the year, are awarded in gratitude. This is the second time I get this award and I'm really grateful and honored by the gesture of the municipality Strumica. It was a beautiful night, before the big holiday of the city - the day of The Fifteen Holy Hieromartyrs of Tiberiopolis.

“The only great is if you have friends around the world! It is wonderful to travel and watch the sunrise from a different places, or walking into the beautiful jungles in Africa, or through the beautiful peaks in Asia. It is priceless when you eat mangoes from the garden of your friend in India, or when you learn how to cook "tajine" in Morocco in a traditional Moroccan family. And than... you bring all the world in your lovely home.”

FAQ & QUESTIONS

How to climb high mountains & run long, and be a vegan? Or how to get enough proteins? When is best to do the trainings? What about the nutrition? Let's see bellow...

Do you have enough energy to train with a vegan diet?

Of course! We train with the help of the energy supplied by the diet. But for me personally, my training improved by vegan diet. I feel better because the food I eat is mostly raw and rich in dietary fiber and enzymes. It makes much faster metabolism, so we quickly get energy.

What you think about super foods?

Superfoods are essential part of my diet. They are super rich in nutrients, such a vitamins & minerals, as well as antioxidants, good fats, healthy enzymes. So that means they contains an extremely dense concentration of vital nutrients! That can help us to have more power, lower the risk or prevent specific diseases, and also strengthens the immune system - that is very important when you training a lot. I am big lover of maca, chia, hemp oil, avocado & avocado oil, garlic, quinoa, schisandra, coconut oil & water, cocoa, tumeric, sweet potatoes. Maybe the bananas are not in the list of superfoods, but for my they are more than superfoods! As well the mango. 🙂

Proteins or carbohydrates?

Oh, that's a tricky question. 🙂 You know that are existing micro & macro nutrients. There are three primary macronutrients: carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Macronutrients are defined as a class of chemical compounds which humans consume in the largest quantities and which provide humans with the bulk of energy. That means everything is important. Just the difference is that I choose the proteins from a vegan sources.

When is the best time to do stretching?

I definitely vote for morning stretching. Especially before breakfast. Because you are empty, light and all the energy can be focused into your practice. Also note to don't eat at least one hour after the stretching. One more advice: Take a nice, warm shower before your practise. Also let the room be nicely and comfortable warm so the muscles stretching will be better. And... you will surely have a wonderful day, after such a start of the day!

What is helping you for high altitudes ?

High altitude. 🙂 That's very simple. More time you spent in the heights, more adapted you become. Also drinking a lot of water is very, very important. Moving slowly - is the secong law, so you give a time to your body to accept the new situation - living with less oxygen.

How much you exercise per day?

That is very different. Depends does I am preparing for a expedition, or competition, or just I am keeping my shape. For example, usually when I am just "keeping" my shape, I do yoga one hour in the morning and run from 50 to 65 km per week. When I am training for an expedition, than I ride a bike, run from 80-100 km per week and mostly of the running are in mountain, above 1500 meters, and regulary do the yoga in the morning.

What about the sleep?

After the good-healthy diet, positive life, fast metabolism is coming the sleep - like an essential part of real & healthy living. Depend from the body constitution we need different time for sleeping. I usually sleep 8 hours per day, going early in bed and waking up with sunrise. So I give a time my body to produce a melatonin and regenerate my cells - and in that way I become again strong for a new training. And not only that, I remain be healthy, young and strong.
