Hi everyone! I am from Irkutsk - city that is placed near the one of the most beautiful lake of earth - Baikal. My occupation is aircraft engineer; now I support the building of Irkut MC-21. As the majority of people, I like to travel. I like nature, forests and moutains, I've already reached Elbrus (west peak, 5642), Belukha (east peak, 4506) and some local peaks, such as Munku-Sardyk (3491), which I visited for six times.
Also I like old cities, castles, temples, ancient architecture. I've been to Angkor-Watt and another ancient Khmer temples of Cambodia.
At the same time I like to travel because I like to know something new, to see, how people of other countries and cultures are living and to understand the manifold of our world.
