Projekt
This idea has been growing in me for several years. It requires a lot of preparation. The ride around the world is going to be performed without intermission and as such would mean a new achievement in the context within the world records.
The entire ride will be documented by photo- and video-camera, and constantly displayed on my website. From occasionally I will also have reporting on travelling to some Slovenian and foreign media.
The captured images of natural and human world will constantly be available
on my website. I will be seen via
Tracker, enabled by the sponsor CVS MOBILE every moment on the page www.aroundtheworld.si produced and edited by EDITOR Web Communications. At the end, I will also
publish a monograph on photography and
documentary of the seen and experienced.

This is the tour I laid out in my project which I am going to carry out. Thre is however a big possiblity that some countries will be left out due to various reasons (national political crisis, wars, visa problem and other).
Now am taking up this challenge to make my dreams come true.
The goal of this big tour is to experience and to feel our planet, to make photos, articles and documentaries of different countries and cultures, as well to present and promote my own country, Slovenia, to the rest of the world. In addition, the idea is also to become the first person travelling through the most countries by motorcycle without intermissions.
ALREADY COVERED CHAPTERS IN MY LIFE
(autobiography)
I was born on 7 March 1982 in Šempeter pri Gorici (Slovenia). I spent my childhood and school years in Vipava. As a child already, I liked adrenalin activities especially skating and running. Growing up, my parents showed me real love for wine and viniculture and so the decision to continue in this direction was not difficult for me. After finishing successfully the grammar school for agriculture-viniculture, I took a chance to work in this field in Bordeaux (France), where I spent 16 months. However, it was not only working and specializing, but also learning about myself and gaining life experiences. This was as well a great occasion to learn French.
After coming back to Slovenia and having made a decision to stay home and turn the business over to the family, there was a refusal, so I decided then to find work in the catering industry. I worked as a waiter in some renowned restaurants in Slovenia like Zemono Mansion, within the company HIT, French restaurant in Ljubljana and within Viva in the restaurant Slovenian House in Brussels (Belgium). I was working in Brussels for three years and for one year I was running the restaurant, organizing events and promoting Slovenian traditional cuisine, especially in the period of the Slovenian presidency to the European Union.
I have always had hobbies and dreams about various animals, peoples, cultures, nature. There has always been a desire in me to visit old, popular, new and undiscovered places on Earth. My first plan was to ride a bike through Northern Africa, parts of USA and entire South America. I started with preparations, getting physically and psichologically strong. There were some shorter distances (from Brussels to the south of France, from Brussels via Germany to Slovenia). The last stage was a test. I got injuries unexpectedly, disappointment followed. Nevertheless, I was willing to continue. »Motorbike, yes, motorbike... I am going to ride it around the world, no matter the cost. I mean it, I am not afraid of it. When you have to surmount many obstacles in your life, then you are prepared for other challenges as well. "When you really want something, you can achieve it", this is my motto.
Now I am getting ready intensively for this
motorbike-tour around the world with my photo- and videocameras. I would like
to visit some 158 countries all at once (without intermission) and doing so, to
mark a new milestone in my life. I
devoted myself to photography some years ago. It will be my constant companion
and the documentation of what is going to follow in the new chapters of my life.
