Hi!
My name is Sergey. I lived in Moscow (Russia) for a long time but now I mostly travel around the world.
I worked as a manager for British American Tobacco Company for 5 years, leaving as the Head of IT Support and 5 years ago I have become a co-owner of a hotel and a kite surfing school in Sri Lanka. I am also certified (IKO, Level 2) kitesurfing instructor.
I love animals, especially cats and dogs and truly enjoy looking after them and taking dogs for walks. I also love meeting people and find it quite easy to make good and authentic connections.

I really think that everything that is happening with us is happening for a reason.
Especially when we talk about meeting people in our life journey. The universe is definitely was giving me an opportunity to meet a lot of beautiful soles during my travels. And I am so happy to have friends from different parts of the world.

So when you are thinking to host me or not just follow your guts! And if we are supposed to meet it will happen anyway :-)
