Adventure Travel and Fitness blog

Hi there, my name is Andrejs and welcome to my blog!

Training 15+ hours per week sounds challenging enough. Mixed with a passion for traveling it adds a very special flavor to my life. It’s this specific blend of challenge and adventure that I savor every time I put my running shoes on at 6am in a new place.

After many years in competitive sports I simply can’t allow myself anything less. I share my experience here as I explore both of my travel and fitness passions. This blog fully reflects my approach to life which is to say yes to adventures, take on new challenges and enjoy the process.

I am convinced there is time and energy for everything - it's only about putting a priority to it. So scroll down and let’s get started!
