Hey everyone, I'm Russell from Russia, but i was originally born in Uzbekistan.
I think I'm an easy-going and open-minded person and I believe in the good in people. I always try to stay positive and try to give other people a good feeling. I believe in Karma - everything you do comes back to you - if you do good, it comes back to you. I love travelling around the world and meeting interesting and inspiring people. I also love to laugh and to discuss about politics, music and spirituality.

I like being active and meeting new people, but I also like spending the night at home sometimes.

My big goals are:
- to travel to Australia
- walk the Santiago de Compostela
- find a country to emigrate to one day (Canada is a good candidate)

My favourite quotes:
"Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions." Pema Chodron

"Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking." Marcus Aurelius

"Borders? I have never ever seen one, but I have heard they exist in the mind of some people" Thor Heyerdahl

Music, Movies, and Books

I like pretty much any music that comes from the heart, whether it's indie, hip hop, r&b, classical, metal, rock, or instrumental. My friends will tell you I'm a huge snob when it comes to cinema and...well they're probably right. I like a good non-fiction read that teaches me something valuable, from memoirs to philosophy.
