Me, myself and I

I climb therefore I am. A sentence that does not describe who I am but proves I exist nevertheless.

My name is Vera but my friends call me Vee. I enjoy discussing health related topics as well as looking into what makes us tick – why we do certain things the way we do.

I am the happiest when I’m outdoors somewhere near mountains or the sea. I love how nature makes us feel small.

I enjoy anything vertical – rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering and skiing. I also love strong black coffee and its absence makes me grumpy and sad sometimes. I eat peanut butter straight from its jar and love running in the rain. My mum thinks I talk too much and sometimes I think she’s right! I enjoy reading urban fantasy novels, as I appreciate one’s imagination and a new world some people are able to visualize and create.

I like to see how far we can go; exploring our limits, seeing what our bodies and minds are capable of, believing and breaking barriers, challenging theories, succeeding, failing, smiling, crying.. I am not perfect but I am me, sometimes weird, most of the times crazy and always curious!

The purpose of this blog is to share my fitness passion with others, as well as to write about climbing, when an inspiration strikes.

Disclaimer: I am not an amazing climber. I do not climb super hard grades. I climb because it makes me happy. I am still a beginner. I like to think that my lack of climbing skills is somehow compensated by my climbing passion…

Thanks for stopping by!
