A passionate traveller, addicted to visiting new places, meeting new people and gaining cultural experience (>25 countries visited in 2014-16). Love mountaineering (climbed highest summits of Europe – Mt. Elbrus (5642m) and Mont Blanc (4810m), peaks of Scotland, Norway, Wales and Austria. Trying to get a yachting skipper license (so far competent crew). From time to time do mental running challenges: Nice-Cannes Marathon, Mont Blanc mountain trails 42km and 80km, trails in Norway/France etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having done lots of cool stuff like skydiving, climbing 5000ers, hiking fjords, swimming at -30C, Dubai zip-lines I'm mostly proud to keep my passion for exploring this beautiful life

What I Can Share with Hosts

- lots of cool travel stories (proper and not that much, depending on your tolerance and sense of humour)
- amazing company and desire to participate in any worthwhile adventure
- the experience of travelling across Western and Eastern Europe
- teach rare Russian swears (yes, we have lots of them) and disclose a hidden secret of what do we say when making a toast (and no, "Na zdorovye" is Polish, not Russian)
etc.
