About Me

CURRENT MISSION

As of 25 July 2022, I have a pregnant wife and an 8-year-old daughter. We escaped Ukraine which wasn't easy. We have tickets to the USA for late August and we need some accommodations in Paris and Toulon until then. Thanks!

ABOUT ME

I am an optimistic, enthusiastic, goal-oriented person. I like playing football (soccer), swimming, surfing, snorkeling, and the other active sports. I do not like tv. I have a special list of places to visit, and one day I will visit New Zealand, China, Japan, Belize, Maldives, Costa Rica, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Portugal, Italy and many other cool places. I want to learn how to play golf and improve my surfing skills. I also like cats.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry, be happy. :)
We are vegan. We don't drink alcohol.

Interests

Traveling, beach volleyball, swimming, looking at the stars and thinking about the aliens. :) I believe they exist!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed to the top of Diamond Head in Honolulu, Hawaii. The view was unforgettable.
Together with my wife, I lived and traveled in Thailand for 1.5 years and for 5 months in Mexico. This has changed our lives!
