I started to write when I was six. At first, it was brief comments about film and cartoon characters, about my friends and the members of my family. Mum still keeps the blocks of coloured paper where in large clumsy letters I tried to express my attitude to the world. My parents wanted me to become an economist, or an accountant. But my choice was literature. Still at school, I tried to write fairy tales, novels and even thrillers. I read them to my classmates hoping for their enthusiastic approval. People either said nothing or advised me not to waste time and to think about something more practical.

In spite of everybody's discouragement, I kept trying and I went to university to study literature and linguistics. Those were the happiest years of my life – I enjoyed studying, and my academic results were impressive.

During my third year at the university I got interested in journalism. My interest was sparked by one of our teachers. Dr Knoblock, that was his name, regularly disappeared from the university and we knew that he was probably on a trip to some remote place. We waited for his reports from there. The reports, essays and reviews were on different topics, but we really enjoyed his comments on lifestyles in different countries, rare and endangered animals, and exploring the deserted places of the Earth where nature was still unspoiled by human activity. When we completed our university course, we presented the file to Dr Knoblock and he felt very touched by our attention and interest in his work.

Though I was happy with my success as a student, I had to accept that my talent was not great enough to make me a great author. Instead of ambitious plans to write a bestseller, I concentrated on short reports and essays. My first report was published in my final year at university. It was about the aboriginals of Australia and how their culture and lifestyle was damaged by the unwise policy of integration. I was very grateful to Dr Knoblock who had made some very important improvements in my work and helped me to write out the final draft of the report.
