NASCAR, My racing experience at LA Racing.

In today's post i'm going to share with you my racing experience in the latest NASCAR sport car model at LA Racing race track.  It was one of the most incredible moments in my life. I love cars and i like fast cars the most. When i was young, my dream was to become a Rally WRC racer but this type of sport requires a lot of investment or  good sponsors, which was impossible for me and i chose a different profession. But the desire of speed did not ever leave me.

I will never forget this adventure in Zion National Park. There was so much to see: narrow canyons, steep cliffs and unpredictable weather - everything added to the challenge and adventure of my visit.

ATV Jungle Tour, Riviera Maya, Mexico 2012

During my trip to Cancun i went on ATV Jungle tour near Playa del Carmen. It was a guided tour around the jungle with stops at Cenote and cave.

On the picture below is my Mexican tour guide riding ATV with one hand at 35 mph and speaking on the phone at the same time.

It was a really cool race as that day there weren't any other tourists and this guy gave us an individual tour. The entire jungle was ours and i could try to squeeze max speed out of 4 wheel bike. There were so many turns there so if this dude didn't guide us we could definitely get lost.

Tulum, Riviera Maya, Mexico 2012

Tulum is another popular tourist destination located in Riviera Maya and just 1.5 hour drive from Cancun. Tulum was one of the last cities inhabited and built by the Mayans and also was a major city port for their civilization.  

I saw many times pictures of Tulum's ruins in travel magazines and always wanted to go there and see it on my own. And here it is, my dream came true.

Half Dome, Yosemite Park, CA

If you are looking for hiking or camping in the forest with waterfalls, creeks and lots of wild  animals running around then you have to go to Yosemite National  Park in Northern California.  In this post i will tell you about Half Dome Trail, another extraordinary hike in North America.  It's like I've read somewhere -  Half Dome is the ultimate Yosemite day hike - the one you can't die without doing, and the one you're most likely to die while doing.
