CURRENT MISSION

Love the Life I Live, Live the Life I Love

SOME BASICS ABOUT ME

Currently based Moscow, I spent some years in Germany before, as well as now working in an international environment. I very much enjoy travelling and meeting people from different countries and cultures.

I work 9 to 6-7-8-younameit in the construction industry. Love my job, which is stressful but allows me to be a part of projects, that improves quality of peoples' life.

I'm rather a relaxed person, who prefers life communication to online, real people to celebrities, relaxed talks to loud parties, wine to beer, nature to city, slowfood to fast food, minimalism to excessive shopping, and quality to quantity in general.

I'm more intro than extra. That means I am not that good in small talks, but love relaxed in depth discussions on different subjects... from geopolitics through art to economics. Not pretending to be an expert in all of these, but that is exactly one of the things I like about CS - here you can meet totally different points of view and maybe reconsider your own ones.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a hedonist, who is always looking forward to having simple pleasures and enjoying life.
