Athlete, Student

I started kayaking when i was 9 years old in Kanoe Tatra Klub Liptovský Mikuláš

I didn't really want to be a kayaker. My father wanted me to try it so we made a deal and i tried it for few weeks. That was the moment when i fell in love with this sport :) I met so much great people, I've seen so many beautiful places and had so much fun!! Becoming a kayaker was the best thing that happened to me in my life :)
