Hello! My name is Andrew (Andrij in Ukrainian transcription). In my old life I was a teacher (in University of Law and in Medical Academy), I taught History, History of culture, Logic and Ethics. I was a chief of student's discussion club.

Then I decided to bring some adventure in my life, and I accepted a proposition to be a drummer in orchestra "Resonance". Now I travel a lot with this orchestra, we have played our instrumental music (mainly rock) in 9 countries.

Another great development in my life was attending Taize meeting (ecumenism christian organisation) in 2014 in Strasbourg. I discovered that different people are the same in many main things, not one confession, not one tradition is only correct and right.
My experience on Camino de Santiago just verify this point.

Now I am very grateful to Christ for my life; I like travelling, especially walking, it's a good way to discover new countries, I think.
I love history, I love art, especially music, painting and architecture, and want to learn more about it.
