About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life :)

ABOUT ME

I am about 175cm high married happy male person. My hair is rather black. It used to be long for a while, though not now. Most my friends say that short cut looks better on me :)

I am living with my beloved wife Oksana. We host and travel together. So you might also be interested in her profile as well http://www.couchsurfing.com/people/oksssa/

PHILOSOPHY

The most important thing in my life is not money, job, carrier, etc. but people that are close to me.

It is better to regret for something that you have done, then for something that you haven't. I try not to regret at all :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted and have been CS-guests for several times. We also participate in local Groningen CS events like monthly meetings, parties etc. Every experience with this community is very positive!

Interests

Since we have bought our first DSLR photo camera, we spend most of our free time on taking pictures. Here you can find some of our photos:

Of course I am interested in my job, which is about experimental Physics. I like to find now to explain complicated things easily, so you should try me on that!

Currently, my serious-like interests are focused on self-development and computer technology. I also have social-friendly ones :) Traveling, fishing, reading, playing board games, BBQ, and many more!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movie is "Casablanca". I also like movies with Marilyn Monroe and other old stuff. Among modern things I prefer films like "21", "Harry Potter"s, "Ameli", "Chocolate" etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I've seen a girl and I am still amazed by her...

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very open to share my own experience. I think that being open is a key for development. I also enjoy to learn from others.

If you think I could help you in something, please ask! For instance, if you want to buy a (semi)professional photocamera, I could consult you what is better.
