Open-mined, easy going guy with an enterpreneur way of thinking (non-smoker, like any pets).

I'm a DREAMER!
About a year ago I have started my own digital advertising agency. It's really profitable with several big clients and reliable freelancers.
Few month ago I set a goal to organize an international advertising company of freelancers which will be freedom to choose the projects, how and when to work.
Can you imagine an organisation of free people which are proud of their job, have money (any expertise starts from love and interest), have time for family, travelling or other activities?
What about the society or state of such people? Would you like to join?
Wait for a few years (I hope) ;)
Relly I'm ready to discuss it!

Had participated in a lot of CS events (language exchange meetings), Moscow "Big house parties".
Like to meet new people with different thinking and life experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

About 4 years ago met a big couchserfers crowd. After that I loved to meet foreign people and talk, drink, dance again and again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2016 I have finally found the purpose of life and my own dream! ("About me" section)

Little funny story:
When I was 19, I had passed a swimming exam and got a job as a lifeguard in the USA (work&travel program). The funny thing is that I was an awful swimmer and English speaker. I’m still not sure was I brave or just stupid. But after that “amazing” experience a lot of my fears just disappeared.
