CURRENT MISSION Travel to the wild places, get to know life in all its manifestations. Rethink my travelling concept in the light of changing country of residence. How does travelling combine, complement and differ from moving? ABOUT ME I adore wild nature, adventures, new friends, new impressions, music, learning foreign languages. Most of my life I lived in Moscow, but I've always liked travelling throughout Russia and to other countries. I prefer outdoor activities and getting together somewhere not in the bars (it is cheaper and more sincere, heartwarming, different way of enjoying our life). Previously I worked as an investigator at Moscow State University where I've done my PhD thesis. Apart from working I dedicated my spare time to playing and acting in something intermediate between student theatre and music band. Then I moved to Turku (Finland) and I worked there one year in a biotech company. Now I live in Tel Aviv (Israel). As it corresponds to a biologist, I'm a big fan of nature: animals, birds, plants, forests, rivers, mountains, hiking, climbing, camping, natural reserves, ecotourism etc. Despite the fact that I'm a biochemist and some of them can't tell the difference between dog and sheep... also I've always been a field biologist in my soul and, wherever I go, I always bring plants and animals field guides with me (crazy, no?!) PHILOSOPHY My favourite quotes:It's nice to be hungry! (Movie "Go-getter") Everything that is happening to us is just a dream. Tomorrow we'll wake up and it's gone... (someone) A man is like fire: needs air for living. (TV Series "Alma Pirata") Imperfection is beautiful! Music needs a bit of dirtyness. (Bebe) The length of the life is determined by God, but the breadth of the life is up to us. (A. Abdulov) Give to me the life I love, Let the lave go by me, Give the jolly heaven above And the byway night me. Bed in the bush with stars to see, Bread I dip in the river There's the life for a man like me, There's the life for ever. (R. L. Stevenson) Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet. (someone) If you think that adventure is dangerous, try routine. It is lethal. (Paulo Coelho) One doesn't travel to escape from live, but to prevent live from escaping from you! (someone)

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem/am
Watching sunset in Nicaragua, laguna Apoyo (volcanic lake), while swimming there on the back with my eyes towards the sky... Incredible scenery! Each part of the sky had its own color and clouds of the different shapes and all of this was changing every minute... Snorkelling among turtles, sea lions, bennets and pinguins at Galapagos archipelago. Watching sunrise at the top of Kilimanjaro.

I want to improve my English and Spanish, can help you if you need to practice your conversational Russian. I love learning songs, inventing and singing different voices, vocalizes, solo. Also, as a biologist, I can share with you lots of biological stuff I know (biochemistry, ornithology, botany, etc.). I can make an excursion for you showing birds and plants around.
