So, once more, the World Cup is about to grace our TV screens – in our living rooms, our pubs, basically everywhere. World Cup fever is unavoidable, impossible to escape, and normally my worst nightmare. I loathe football. It is the world’s most boring sport, it is 90 minutes of my life I will never...

Well, I survived. All bones are intact, and though my embarrassment levels reached a new high, I have never laughed so much or experienced a rush of adrenaline like it in all my 23 years of existence. It’s safe to say that skiing exceeded all my expectations, and I left with a whole new level...
