I love traveling and getting to know the local culture and architecture.

I worked in environmental organizations in Ukraine and Russia. I worked in 2 national parks and WWF. For over 20 years I have been a volunteer in various conservation and research projects.

I traveled to different natural areas of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. I have been to such interesting places as Kamchatka, the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the Far East and the Sikhote-Alin mountain range, Yakutsk, the Ural Mountains, Karelia, the Carpathians, the steppes of Donbass, the southern taiga of central Russia.
I have participated in expeditions to study whales and killer whales in the North Pacific.

I have been involved in sports with sled dogs for 5 years now.

Now I am preparing to travel on a sailing yacht.

I am passionate about using digital technology to explore nature and architecture. These are 3D scanning and photogrammetry, mapping, GIS, spatial analysis, analysis of space images. I also worked a lot with the use of drones in agriculture and architecture.

I'm not an intrusive guest, but if you want, I'm ready to chat a lot.
