I think I'm optimistic broadminded person. I guess my main quality – openness, I am free for everything new, like to experiment .

That's why I really love traveling - a different culture , new traditions
has always attract me.

I like extreme sport, for example. Unfortunately, I live in a city and can’t do it often. But when I go to my parents, who live in the south of Russia (almost Ukraine), I fly with my dad on his glider. I bale out and want to
repeat it soon.

Interests

What else about yourself? I can’t imagine life without books. I like to read, and also work in a publishing house, I’m editor.

Sometimes I enjoy to take a photograph. I want to learn the basic skills of video editing and try to make a short video.

I like art and history – especially «things with history». In traveling I always visit flea markets and take with a lot of treasures - old postcards and magazines , photographs of
unknown people from the last century , letters and notes , and even the ancient maps (always , in addition, vinyl records) .

Of course , I am always happy to meet new people. My environment consists of cheerful creative and active friends, who love life or change it , if they don’t like something.
