About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to do more & more

ABOUT ME

I enjoy travelling, meeting new people and speaking different languages I can speak. Now I'm keen on learning capoeira and afro-brazilian culture, but also still like to dance in different styles, alpine skiing & snowboarding (just learning do it now) and sometimes I even like my work :)
I'm waiting for the time when I'll be able to get free time and some free money to travel everywhere. I'm working on it, sure ;)

PHILOSOPHY

to live, to love and to look ahead

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

travelling to the North of Russia by train & boat for 3 days

walking alone all over the night in Moscow in winter; it's a little bit strange - to walk along central streets and not to see any person at all%)

lived in different dormitories by friends illegal: used to get there even througth the window)
I left school, when I was 15. People say, it's strange and a little bit crazy...

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Russian Federation, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine
