About Me

Hey:) I’m open minded, easy going and spontaneous person (as most of the people here).

Study at ETH Zurich at the moment. My master program is called Integrated Building Systems. Integrated what..? - is the normal response, then I just say Architecture.

I enjoy dances from the Golden Jazz Era like Charleston, Lindy Hop and Tap. I generally like old things and would prefer writing letters and riding steam engine trains around, but sadly stuck in the 21 century with the global warming, blockchain and modern medicine.

When I’m not studying or dancing, I like to walk the streets of a city I live in or many others. After one month of being at home I get a Fernweh and have an urge to travel somewhere, doesn’t matter where. I had a survival course at scouts and can build a shelter, make fire and steal fish from fishermen, so I will survive in any condition.

By the way, I am from Siberia.
