Overview
About Me
I was born in the heart of Siberia, where I spent the most of my life and there I obtained my bachelor degree in Economics. Currently I'm an exchange student in Germany, at Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. I used to swim professionally before college, but now I don't have such as much time and I tend to jog instead. Thus I did my first semimarathon this summer.
If it happens and we will meet, I will be engaging and helpful, clean and low-key houseguest. I don't doubt that we will have a great time together=)
Every new place is a new adventure with things and people I may meet. I'm just looking to have a good time to remember in any place I travel to. So, I always try to explore new area as much as I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It's not very amazing. It was ordinary day in the summer. For some reason the friend of mine and I decided to start on a journey. We grabed cycles, backpacks and tent and went rambling to the nearby town Barnaul (220km, in terms of Russia it's pretty close). We hadn't prepared for it, we even didn't have a clue how to reach it. So, the first day we covered aroung 100 km. We had a tent, water and some food which we found at home, before leaving. We'd span the pedals whole the night and it was totally unsafety, cause in Siberia there are no bicycle paths at all. So, we were driving on a wayside, and tried to keep poise after heavy trucks buzzing along. In the morning we'd started to search a place where we could pitch a tent, but we found it unrealizable, cause the fucking dogs at only one appropriate place (village) decided to bark at us... It was in a halfway to our hometown (Novosibirsk) and also to Barnaul. So, we chose to continue the path, cause our victual was nearly over. Eventually we put up the tent and hit the hay. It's worth to mention that it was near the lake where were no tries at all. It was around 7am. Therefore, after a few hours when the sun had risen our tent became hot. By this time we were run out of water. Needless to say there were no people around. Not a single person! So we made up the decision to leave our cloth (cause we were tired and wiped out) and tried to find a sort of village, person, whatever where we could get at least a bottle of water. I should say it was a torrid day, dog day, perhaps the hottest one in my life. After 5 km or smth like that we stumbled upon the rural road where we hitched a ride to nearby village. Oh shit, on the way towards it we found out that this bastard (the driver) was heavily drunk, he hold a lit cigarette and a bottle of beer in one hand and use another one for steering. He was scarcely able to speak coherently. We tore along at really high spead and the driver also tried to steer around potholes. He also attempted to speak with us and simultiniously look at us. Eventually, thank Heaven, we reached the destination. There were lots of other adventures during this damned trip, but now we always call this journey to mind and remember this Brian O'Connor (probably you remember the scene in 2 Fast 2 Furious). It's a part of my "amazing'' experience=) Enjoy your life!
