About Me

CURRENT MISSION

brighten the world through communicating with positive people

ABOUT ME

It's always difficult to tell about myself, because I usually think that I don't know myself well enough too :) That's why I love travelling most of all - it is the first thing that make me learn about the world, people, reality and also some things about my inner world too. I always search for the meaning of life and human being - and I hope to find it somewhere on my way :)
That's it, and here some concrete things: I'm a 26 years old vegetarian interested in ecology, foreign languages, cultures and art. Recently I've been studying asian cultures. My dream is to travel the whole Asia and to see its sacred places, ancient cities and monasteries.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a starnger searching for the meaning of life through travelling and knowing new people. Our world is so beautiful and our life is so short - so thats why i wanna see as much as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently somehow I've found myself listening to classical music from my iPod. Mozart, Bach - I really like them a lot! Also Tom Waits and Bjork. And indian mantras. And folk. And russian rock. My music interest are very tangled.
Books: russian classics (Dostoevskiy, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Gogol), Flaubert "Madame Bovary", Stendhal "The Red and the Black", Salinger "The Cathcher in the Rye" and "Nine stories", also science fiction and poetry
