ABOUT ME:
I had two scholarships and passed my PhD in a short time with distinction. Meanwhile I founded an IT-consultant company, a student community, a club for rehabilitation of physically disabled, worked as a voluntary worker in more than a half dozen committees and so on...
To sum it up: I really like to work and to use my time meaningful. I decided to travel for a long time because I think that's the most useful thing one can do to broaden his own mind and be more sensitive to the things outside the "safe box".

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

After finishing the university I immediately decided to travel. I had no time and no equipment and bought 90% of all the travel stuff just five days before my departure in Europe's biggest outdoor-shop. Then I started my journey to find a way around the world without an airplane, without a planned route and always decide my next stop from case to case... it worked out! :D
