CURRENT MISSION To see the world outside my home, learn languages, meet people, exchange different interesting cultural info and ruin stereotypes about Russians) ABOUT ME Sociable and curious. Love good literature, heavy music, interesting games and movies. Sing and play guitar, would like to play something to my hosts) 'Been learning English since childhood, that's when I fell in love with foreign languages. Now, when third decade of my life began, I'd like to visit as many countries, as I can. Meet and talk to as much people, as possible. I find different languages and cultures very interesting) PHILOSOPHY Treat others the way you want to be treated. Be open, easy and optimistic. Maybe, thats naive, but, so far, it helped me a lot)

Different kinds of heavy music, from Ozzy and Dio 'till System of a Down and Slipknot; movies - SciFi, Fantasy and adventure, like Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones.. there isn't enough space for every movie i like) Books - mostly russian classics: Dostoevsky, Bulgakov and many more. But my biggest love is Max Frei.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Lost my sleep for 30 hours, when first visited St. Petersburg. All this time I just wandered its streets, looking at people, listening for street musicians, asking locals for directions, dining at small cafes. And, after that, I got on the train to home. That was my most sleepless weekend)
Teach, Learn, Share
Learn interesting facts about countries, they don't write in books; try to see the countries not as a tourist, but as it's native, local inhabitant. I'm not as interested in Eiffel Tower or Big Ben, as in small, twisted streets, urban legends and not-so-famous places, that only locals do know. And I'll try to share with everyone something, that they call "Open Russian Soul") Bears not included.
