ABOUT ME

Born in Kazakhstan (it was USSR), then moved to Ukraine, then moved to Russia. I'm IT worker, QA manager in Game Development company. Actually I'm going to leave this work and travel for 6 months. :)

I like to talk with different people. I studied Spanish for couple of months and hope this will help me in South America.

I like music and play guitar, ukulele and violin. Dreaming about playing on blues harp. :)

Travel is a way of understanding life for me. We all are different, but we all are the same. One of my favourite quoutations is: "Travelling is the best education."

PHILOSOPHY

No violence.
