My name is Artem. I grow up in Tomsk, Russian Fed. This city is located in West Syberia. (Yes, it's could be very cold). For me, traveling is kind of liberty, which I can feel in counties that I've peoples who smile with you and opened self mined.

Now, I have a mission to get a license drive, buy bike and going by EU and nearest countries across large distances to see more and more places with people, the other cultures of peoples. Try traditional food (oh, there are very different from east to west, from south to north, nice!).

I wish, I'll find my future "HOME" in our big world. There will be my own angle, when I'll be able to come back.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music... how much sense in this word! Music for me is some feel of mind, that you can heard and share. You handphones can give you unreal songs of thousand instrumentals. Because, I very like symphonic songs (like: orchestra). And metal-songs bands, they have this melodic with bass, that i prefer!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the one moment, I remember how I try to visit Ukraine before one week for president elections. And between our counties (Ukraine and RU) have some conflicts, yet.
When I've tried goes by train from Minsk (Belarus) to Kiev (Ukraine) at the first time, I thought that everything will be fine and I'll be in UA. But, and again BUT. I have repeat this trip 3 times, again. Because, border control of Kiev didn't allow access me for visit their countries on rule of - I'm citizen of RU and I can prevent for election :) Fun! And I lived this attempt in railway station in special room for government spies (aha!).

What I want to say... It was very interested trip to Ukraine, but after this I've drove in Ukraine with success. But this moment I'll remember always. I like those peoples, we tell very much about our countries, culture, mentality of people and how we are both want to be again friends!
After this period in Ukraine, I loved peoples with their warm soul, open termer and friendly meeting. I'm feeling some comfort in this country.

Thanks!
