CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm 27 years old now, working as a journalist and a drummer ans a tutor.

When I'm a guest my general rule is to behave in such a way, that my presence don't bother my host. The rules of the host are first!

Usually I travel with my wife Masha. She's a magic woman and amazing sculpturist.

I like walking, reading, riding a bike, hiking, swimming, playing music, drink chinese tea, meet new ideas, talking with interesting people, dancing, listening to everything...

I write articles about printing technology, play on a midterranian drum darbuka and teach chemistry. I've finished Moscow State University as a biochemistrant, but I didn't like the work in lab, so I chose the more interesting occupation of journalist.

Music is my passion, several of the most strong and beautifull moments of my emotional experience are connected with music listening and playing.

I like to read a lot. It's very different genres and authors, so now I can hardly say who is my favourite. Perhaps Amy Tomson "The distance of color" is the last book which impressed me quite strong.

I like travelling, I've travelled by hitchiking to siberian lake Baikal, with my wife we hitchiked to Georgia and Istanbul. Travelling always "opens" me in the good sense. I like meet different people though it's sometimes difficult to accept their mindset. But the more different one's mindset is the more clearly I understand my own ideas - that's very interesting and great.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is very-very beautifull, but sometimes it's hard to remember about it.
