His Philosophy:
"I am a traveler.
I am searching for an explanation for the sense of life through my journeys. I want to know, why man is born, grows, lives through many difficulties, gets married, has children and then dies. The same is true for his children.
While being alone on the ocean or near Cape Horn, I have thought a lot about all that. It is a journey that enables you to think about such things. You can reflect on the fact that life cannot be senseless and that it must have some deep sense.
Where can the answer be found? Can it be found on the top of Everest or on the way to the North or South poles?
This is a brief answer to the question, why I travel and try to reach the most difficulties and mysterious places on our planet.
Some of my friends have mentioned that I am good at self-advertising. If somebody believes this, let it be so. However, it is a different thing that draws me to traveling. This is a passion for competition, accompanied by inquisitiveness, adventures experienced everyday and a view of the world through an artist's eyes.
I am not interested merely in physical efforts that one needs on the way to the Pole, when climbing Everest or sailing around Cape Horn. I get pleasure when I acquire spiritual force.
I make my way first by spirit and then by body. As it is said, "If you are here in body, but not in spirit, there is no sense in this."
I would like to say the following to those aspiring to reach the top of Everest, reach the North Pole on foot or see Cape Horn, when on board a yacht.
You should begin by overcoming yourself and plunge into self-reflection.
It is only then that the route awaiting you or climbing to the top will become a symbol, an instrument of connection with the world and of learning about the limits of human capacity. "
