About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be happy go lucky

ABOUT ME

Hmm... It's hard to give a description of yourself. So I'd rather talk about things that matter for me or make me happy. I'm happy to live in this age with so many things available at the click of the mouse. And under "things" I mean information first of all.
I'm happy with the people who surround me. Couldn't be happier, to be precise. In Russia they say that you can make a true friend only at school or uni. My example proves the opposite. I do have some from school and university :), but life is still generous to me in terms of new friendships. Am I happy with my job? I've been an English teacher for two years now. It definetely gives me more personal fulfillment than my previous job in financial consulting.

PHILOSOPHY

Aut viam inveniam, aut faciam
* I will either find a road or make one

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can say that I travelled around the world just by hosting people (I was active in HC, under the same nick) and listening to their stories.

And more importantly I made a couple of life-long friends.
