About Me

Hi friend
Glad you're reading my page.

Currently living in Vietnam and have been working here as an English teacher since 2019.
Actually not much interesting to say about it, mostly just routine work.

Better let me take you through my past instead.
Being born and raised in The USSR and afterwards Russia in 90ths, I have always strove for traveling.
Started working as a busker on suburban trains at the age of 16.
And the very first day after having graduated high school I left my small home town for the region's capital city Samara where had been dwelling for the next 5 years studying at a uni, chasing girls, busking for money, learning music and martial arts.
During summer time used to hitchhike around Russia which was (and remains to be) a kind of spiritual activity to me.
Talking about spirituality, ought to mention that it has been the main purpose and aspiration of my entire life ever since I've known myself.
So consequently in a few months after the uni graduation I split up with my girlfriend (she definitely wasn't keen on any kind of spirituality).
Then having been tired of hectic city life I moved back to my home town, built up a beekeeping business there, and quite successfully BTW.
Yep, guys, I'm absolutely not a city dweller. Solitary country life is what my nature's yearning for.

But the spiritual call inside didn't let me be a beekeeper for long...
Eventually after many days and months of reflection and doubts I decided to become a monk...

That's barely a half of my story. And I cut many corners and skipped lots of important details to save your time reading it.

... After all you can ask me about the rest of my story in person.

Right then...

Hope to see you one day
and best of luck, my friend
