Interests

I have 2 big passions that fulfill my life: music and traveling. The most important part of my traveling take mountains. I like everything conected to it. Hiking brings a lot of fresh conditions in my life. Mountaineering shows you the power of mountains and nature. Big summits let you visit them if you keep cold brain and you're enough enduring to prove your wish to be there. Skiing and snowboarding bring a lot of fun and make you love winter time.

I used to do hiking in different countries. I like to explore new mountain regions. My longest hiking trip was in Switzerland. I did 360 km by feet through Alps for 18 days. The route is called Via Alpina(Swiss part) and it started in Montreux and finished in Vaduz(Lichtenshtein). This route also coincides with the Alpine Pass Route and goes through a heart of this country from the east to the west. It was very important experience in my hiking life.
I also work like mountain hiking guide in Ukrainian Carpathian mountains. I know many pathes and routs there and of course it is pleasure for me to share my experience with others. I am in love with Carpaty:)

I like cycling as well. Human who has invented it was a great genius :)
I found bicycling like a very interesting way of traveling. My longest journey by bicycle was trip to Balkans in 2017. I did 3000km crossing 8 countries for 1 month. It's unforgetable experience, a lot of cool moments, meeting new people and new adventures every single day!

Music gives me a feeling of freedom. I like improvisations and I like to play with other musicians as well.
