About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Sergey and I'm addicted to travel. I'm writing photo blog about my travels and try to get unique local experience in every place, that I visit. I like to met new interesting people, listening stories about their life and get that awesome culture experience.

I like music, movies and books. Sometimes I travel just to see show of one of my favorite bands. I always have a bunch of tickets to upcoming events on my mail and like to listen my favorite music live.
