CURRENT MISSION

To make my life a piece of art

ABOUT ME

I am an easy-going, intelligent, nice, quiet and peaceful person. Rather down to earth. I love to add some spice and color to my life by making spontaineous deciesions and setting myself off to little adventures with my friends.
Beauty of the world is what makes my heart sing and what I enjoy the most during my travels.
I love trying new food and drinks, usually enjoy local farmer's markets more than museums, but it depends on the country! Love cycling around if it isn't too physically demanding (I once made a round trip drom Amsterdam to the sea area and back in one day but the land there is VERY FLAT indeed :))) Generally speaking, I am a bit lasy, but curious tourist loving immersive cultutal experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. World is big, there's a place for everyone.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am, actually, quite a geeky person, mind Sci-Fi and Fantasy stuff. I am the one who can actually tell Tolkien caracters from antidepressants ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1)I made an attempt to learn Icelandic language :) It lasted about a year and was a lot of fun but it is extremely hard to find a good teacher and learning materials... maybe I'll make another attempt someday because the language sounds just so sweet to my native Russian ear.

2)I left my day job in a huge multinational company and completely changed my career. It was probably the best thing I ever done! I got back a few years later, though, but I am a different person now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Russian!
After spending years as a corporate IT tech I will probably be able to fix your broken PC ;)
I can give you some tips and tricks about recycling in Moscow - it's love of my life and I enjoy telling people everything about it.
If you need to have a small gig in Moscow and you'd love to have some friendly ears to listen around, ask me. I may also help to find a decent rental company, do a set up and mix the show

What I Can Share with Hosts

Usually I have some free time so we can walk (or cycle) around the city together.
