ABOUT ME

Hello everyone who is now reading this!

First of all, I am really happy that this kind of service as CS exists. Talking about me, I'm 21 years old student. I was really lucky to get an opportunity to travel around Europe, when I studied in Sweden. I think, that one of my best points is that I am tolerant to all the people and I really enjoy meeting different types of personalities. Being there, in Sweden, helped me to understand deeper what cultural differences are and now I feel like being aware of problems that might occur.

What is also important about me - I am keen on music. My favorite style is postrock, and my favorite bands are Explosions in the Sky, 65daysofstatic, God is an Astronaut, Godspeed you black emperor, Mono, This is your captain speaking etc. But on the other hand, I also like partying, visiting night clubs and that kind of stuff.

From one more side, I enjoy nature and I like foot walks in forests with tents and climbing.

I don't want to bother you anymore with some facts about myself, but I want to say, that it could be interesting to know me better and deeper, because I am open to new people, because I want to broaden my horizons, so later on I will have something special to tell my children about. Thank you :)

For more information you can add me on Facebook and ask :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am in love with O'Henry, I think he had amazing ideas about the way people depend on each other's points of view. Form his stories I realized how it is important to stay yourself all the time.

Talking about music, I am found of postrock like Explosions in the Sky, this band is my favourite. When I am angry or dissapointed, I like to listen to something harder like Norma Jean or Job for a Cowboy. Also when I am calm and in the mood of evaluating life, I like to listen to Oasis and other brip-pop bands.

There are not that many movies I got amazed, by but some of them are "The American history X" and "Head in the clouds".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. My studies in Sweden. People all over the Europe, everything was totally new: experience, feelings, the whole life. I will remember that forever.

2. Explosions in the sky in Amsterdam, Holland, 25.05.2011.
