Hi) I am a versatile person: sometimes I like to hang out with a big company, but more often I prefer to read a good book from classics or poems in the room that my wife and I rent in the center of St. Petersburg. I myself have published one book of my poems, but in recent years I have not written, although sometimes I feel inspiration, but I do not have enough time and energy to translate it into words now. I like to take pictures of beautiful places. On weekends I go out on the nature by bike or just walk on foot with my wife Uliana.
I work as a PR-manager in a power machine building company in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. My wife and I moved in this beautiful town in 2017 from Voronezh (it's big town to the south from Moscow), where we lived from childhood. Since 2007 I worked as a journalist and PR-manager in Voronezh. Ulyana's call is modern dance. She works in a dance studio as an administrator and dance teacher.
We both like to open new places and other cultures. Happy to have new acquaintances!)
