Ďurec
My friends call me Ďurec. In my birth certificate it says – Juraj Hýroš, born 1970 in Slovakia. I spent my grammar school years still deeply interested in the royal game – chess. I almost made it to the 1st League. But in college I had a full-blown oudor period, which lasts to this day. I see myself as a versatile outdoor enthusiast. Hiking, mountaineering, paragliding, ski mountaineering and mountain biking are activities I can’t imagine my life without. I started the STATERA website to bring people of like mind together.
