I have always needed to move

Hi, my name is Valon Cengaj and I'm a software engineer and an outdoor enthusiast.

Spending most of my time in front of a computer makes it even more important to spend time outside. That's where I discovered my passion for the mountains. There is no better place to disconnect, recharge and clear your head.

As a kid, I was interested in almost every sport and liked to move and be active. But nothing came close to football. It's a passion I've carried with me since then and still have to this day.

Besides football, the gym is something I've done from time to time. Not as exiting as football but quite neccessary for the body.

Lately, I've found two things I'm doing more regurlaly and I'm starting to enjoy a lot: cycling and the mountains. Wether it's a small ride to work or a 100km ride, a small hike with 200 m elevation gain or a 22 km mountain day with 1,300 m of climbing.

Working in IT, data is part of how I understand and look at things. Thats where the idea for this journal came from. First, as a memory log for the peaks I've reached and second as a place to collect and visualize stats behind the sports and activities I do.
