Vella: OK, Daniel, I know you're still really young but I know you must be thinking 1 about what you're going to do in the future so my question would be what do you want to achieve in your life?
Daniel: Well, there are definitely 2 three things I want to do. For example, I want to do before I die, at least three things. The first one is I want to visit every continent 3 in the earth. I'm still young but I want to do it in the next couple of years. I've never been to Africa, for example, that's a continent, that's a part of the world I'm very interested in.
The second one is that I want to see things from a different perspective 4. For example, I want to climb a really, really high mountain. I don't know, Everest would be amazing but I know like you need the special training and stuff 5 like that. Or do paragliding, I would love to have the feeling that I'm flying. That's something that really, really calls my attention to see, you know, to see something from a different perspective. It can give you not only the experience but also it can help you think in a very different way for, I don't know, many things in the future.
And the third one is definitely to raise my children. I don't have any yet but, I don't know, I would love to have that feeling that I've done my job and I've finished it so, I don't know, to have my children, to raise them properly 6 and to see that they succeed in what they do. Those are the three things I would love to do, I don't know, before I die.
Vella: That is sweet. But earlier you told me like you were afraid of heights. Do you still want to do this thing?
Daniel: I am a little bit but that's a thing that I mean at least once even though you are afraid you have to do it at least once. I'm not going to do it every week, the paragliding thing, but at least once I wouldn't mind.
Vella: And do you have anything specific 7 that you want to do in Africa?
Daniel: No, it's just, there are so many, I think, myths 8 about Africa. People tell you different stories. How they live, what they do, what the conditions 9 are that I want to see it by myself. I know Africa it's really different because it's really big. It's really different among the countries but it has so many cultures that I really want to go and see it by myself.
Vella: Good. I hope you get the chance to do those three things before you die.
Daniel: Thanks.
