About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Studying, moving, feeling, doing, LIVING !!!

ABOUT ME

First of all, I'd like to welcome you to my profile :) It's great that you want to know more about me.

I'm a programmer, easy-going guy with huge appetite for life and learning)

I was born in a small place called Bar (it is the name of a city, not a place to drink alcohol:) From the very young age I was a scrupulous explorer. I was the fifth child in my family. So I had all my time at my disposal. ))
In 2011 I moved to Kyiv.

When I'm not working, I'm usually following whatever it is the day leads me to do. Meeting new people, playing in performances, hanging out with friends, give/feel new emotions, exploring the city, visiting shows, playing board games, jogging, reading, playing guitar, drawing, etc.

My true passion is doing sports (jogging, workout, yoga, football, dances, roller skating, snowboarding, swimming, etc.)

My current aims include meeting as much of different people as I can, travel around the world and gain experience of all other cultures. Check my limits and become better than I was.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: my favorites are "Fight Club", "The Intouchables", "Inception". There are many good movies actually, but for now, I do not have much time to watch them...

Books: My favorite fiction books are "The Witcher", "The Lord of the Rings", "White Fang". But I'm a big fan of non-fiction books; I just love them! I have a soft spot for philosophy, psychology and learning techniques.

Music: I love different kinds of music ("Three Days Grace", "Basement Jaxx", "David Guetta", "Como&Krooked", "SOAD"...). The one that I am listening in some moment depends more on my mood and activity.
For sports activity, I prefer active music, like Rock, Dubstep or similar ("Rammstein", "Skrillex", "Foo Fighters"...). For relaxation or work, I prefer classical and calm music ("Ludovico Einaudi", "The XX"...). My favorite band (FunFary) is a local one who plays Jazz.
There few styles which I mostly don't like actually: POP, Rep or "Russian Chanson", but even they have exceptions =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made a jump with a parachute couple of times.
Climbed on high points (towers, bridges, and tall buildings)
Riding public transport (subway trains, trams, trolleys) outside of it. )
Swam in the river in winter time for two minutes.
Swam in the sea in winter time in the storm.
Survived car crash.
Piloted a small plane.
