Hello! Nice to virtually meet you.

My name is Alex and I was born and lived almost whole my life in Siberia. It is such a cold place in the middle of the Russia. Few years ago I moved to St. Petersburg. The year before I crossed the east part of my country by car. It was one of the most exiting things I ever did in my life and now I’m completely in love with traveling.

I love science fiction books; movies and toons; electronic music; complicated music; some weird youtube stuffs like `don’t hug me I’m scared` or conspiracy theories; movies with advanced layers, high details, beautiful footage composition weird scenario or unexpected turns; studying physics via it’s history.

I am a programmer, but my main hobby is the cognition. And in case of places I believe local people are the best source of knowledge for the place you are now. Plus it’s always inspiring and brings something new to my life ;-)

I also like to share a part of my homeland I have deep in my heart. So, I can cook something from Russian or Ukrainian cuisine, for example: borsch or pancakes :-) In addition, I have an amazing recipe for corn pancakes with cheese, I do not think that you tried these - my mom's recipe :D Also I can tell you a little about wild Russia, did you know: we really have cities where bears walk along the streets, or in winter in the most parts of the country the temperature drops to -30 degrees?

Also I can volunteer if you need any help. Need couple of man’s hands to move some cargo? Just ask. Do you need need to fix some electronics? Give me screwdriver and I’ll try to fix it. I also can fix some PC/MAC/Linux computers issues and fix websites bugs (I’m a full-stack JS engineer).

Hey, hope to see you soon! And have an nice everything.
