ABOUT ME

Privet / Hi / Ciao!

My name is Ivan. I'm a non fiction writer and jorunalist from Karelia (north-west of Russia and Finland). Like every writer I love to travel, to meet new people and just to learn this world.

I'm good and optimistic person. My favorite period of the year is spring, when everything is changes in the nature. I like everything about books and creation. My passion is hiking and cycling: I like to walk in the nature and climb the mountains both on my feet and on my bike.

I support volunteering and all kinds of non formar education and cultural exchange projects and just no money, but exchange way of life between people. I wish happiness and good luck to everybody!

Uvidemsya / See you / Ci vediamo!
