CURRENT MISSION

Be happy!

ABOUT ME

My love to travel begins with a train journey to Belarus from Ukraine with my grandma and grandpa. I was 5, it's been winter, but the train was really warm and there've been lots of sweets and really tasty tea. I spent most of time just looking out of the window and really enjoyed this moving image of the world. Since then traveling lives in my heart!

I am fun and energetic person who loves making jokes and laughing loud! I like meeting new people, meeting new places but also to see my old good friends. I enjoy nature and big cities, lakes and old-school cars, but most of all I enjoy dialogue between people as I believe that is the best way to learn how to live and to find your own personal happiness.

Right now I am traveling around US, mostly California with my girlfriend and we are hoping to meet a lot of interesting people and to share our experience of life with others!

PHILOSOPHY

Being happy! Быть счастливым! Бути щастливим! Sii felice! Soyez heureux! זיין צופרידן! 要快樂！تكون سعيدا! 幸せになる！

I personally believe that this is the most important thing in live :) Wherever you are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing that comes to my mind first - is the jumping of the bridge into the river in my childhood. Adults would never let us to, but we still did and this was amazing. Feeling the height, looking around for the boats and then jumping into a water flow!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to speak ukrainian and russian, give some advice on painting, photography and singing, or maybe (if you want to:) teach you a little bit of ArchiCad :)

I would love to learn more about different ways to live on this earth or how to be happy in every little moment of your life. I will enjoy learning new national dishes and improve my english skills. Another wish - learn how to do haircuts :) Also I am always curious and my favorite question is "How is this made"?
