About Me

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing person who loves to travel, but travel is only a small part of my life. I have a lot of passion for technology and all thing on wheels. I read about cars/motorcycles/computers/phones on daily basis and strangle don't get bored. I also love to learn new things; in the last half a year I have thought that "Hey knowing french would be cool", so I set out on an awesome "Explore" program in Sherbrooke Quebec that was sponsored by Canadian government to learn basics of french. That was one of the most awesome trip in my life, highly recommend it to my fellow canadians.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really follow one philosophy, but I guess if I had to choose it would be something like "Stay positive". Mainly becouse I think it ties in nicely with all kind of other philosophical believes like "Live every day like it is your last" and ect.
Unless of course the topic is about actually moral philosophies well then I follow Kantianism.

Interests

Well this is an ever changing list but I'll try to stick to the things that keep re-appearing: Cars, motorcycles, robots, computers, languages, phones, old castles, cameras/photography, design, web design, history, peoples relationships...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I kind of like a lot of things but old classics(at least by my standards) are the best: so "Lion the Professional", "Pulp fiction", "The Matrix".
Music: Depends too much on mood, usually listen to everything that sounds good(up to the individual to figure out what that means).
Books: Unfortuanlty don't really read that much but have a few books I likes: "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson as well as "Perfume: Story of a Killer"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my trip to Sherbooke we had a day when we were driven to a river and we went white water rafting. This would be by far the most awesome day event, but the biggest highlight would be jumping from a 60 foot cliff in to the river.
I have a fairly large fear of heights so concurring that fear I would say is the most amazing thing I have done.

Teach, Learn, Share

Overall most people tell me I'm a decent teacher.
Message me if you need driving lessons, snowboarding tips, or coding help.
Speak fluent Russian as well, so if interested we can do a language exchange. I'm interested in learning more Spanish and French.
