## Intro

For the last 2.5 years together with [Maryna](http://twitter.com/m_aleksandrova) I'm  am trying
[digital nomad](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_nomad) lifestyle. We are travelling around the world while
working as designer and developer. We visited handful of countries during that period and I noticed one interesting thing.
While travelling you always trying something new and doing something that you never did before.
Here is my list of "first timers".

## Sailing

First time I tried sailing on July, 2012 in Croatia. It was on the small island in the [Kornati National Park](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kornati). It was actually also my first time ever that I lived on island where I spent 3 days learning how to sail from the locals.

## New wonder of the world

First time I saw new wonder of the world was in the Rio de Janeiro. It was December of 2012. It was our first time in the Southern Hemisphere. We obviously visited [Cristo Redentor](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_the_Redeemer_(statue)) statue.

## Pyramid

My first pyramid happened to be not in Egypt but in Mexico. [Teotihuacan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teotihuacan) is really impressive site very close to Mexico City.<commit_msg>minors<commit_after><!--
