CURRENT MISSION

Mmmm... Mission?

ABOUT ME

I was born in Siberia but soon my family had to move to a more civilized area. I grew up in beautiful city of Nizhny Novgorod and for the foreseeable future I am going to live there.
I have been to international workcams in Italy and Germany, participated in a few training courses for youthworkers in Moldova and Georgia. I worked two years as an inventory analyst (not really interesting), and also for several years have been involved in a voluntary work in Nizhny as a mentor for EVS volunteers. In 2015 I was volunteering in Ireland, living together with three amazing Mediterraneans and having a great craic :D
Since the last year I'm getting to know more about IT working for a tech support and learning new things and tricks every day.
I've a girlfriend who is a CSer as well (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/allabazhenkina)

PHILOSOPHY

For the craic!
