My passion is architecture. So for me the best way to spend my holidays is to visit new cities and countries. I like to understand other cultures, their mentality and traditions. I like to explore the architecture and urban planning of different cities.
I love sport. So I like to travel by bike, by canoe and by yacht.
I like to learn new languages. It gives me a sense of freedom, because I can understand better people from all other the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done is sailing. It is so different from all another things! It is a new world, like another life. I crossed Baltic sea by yacht which was built in 1936. It was so cold, so hard, but so beautiful! I've never had so strong sense of freedom, as on this 17.5 meters lond boat. I forgot about everything in my life, about all duties, wishes and goals, I only enjoyed this new world, dangerous and beautiful!
The bike trip from Marseille to Genoa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to study and to teach. I can teach anything I know. For example I was teaching my classmates buildying physics for the exam (All of them passed ^^). When I was in the montains I tought my friends skiing, on the beach - beach volley.
I can teach you how to build your house with knoweldge of the nature to make it comfortable and efficient.
I like teaching in general and if I can help someone with my knowledge, it is always pleasure for me.
