About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveller in my heart. I believe that we've been sent to this world to experience and enjoy its beauty, and to do that we need to travel: to see the world with our own eyes, which cannot be simulated by even the smartest technologies. I graduated from Moscow State Linguistic University in 2012 and I'm making a career in education. I am a language teacher (English and German). Languages help me to understand other cultures and other peoples, I am trying to preserve my status of a developed multicultural and multilingual personality, which was our aim at the university. I am rather sociable, which helps me to feel and quickly accept the atmosphere of every new place I visit, and I start enjoying it. I think my friends would call me a nice guy and a good companion.. Well it's up to them to decide :-D

Interests

Travelling, participation in city orientation competitions (RunCity.org), reading and writing science fiction stories (trying in all the languages I know), writing verses in Latin (when I have inspiration), playing RPG videogames (my favirite series is The Elder Scrolls), listening to rock music (Rammstein, In Extremo, Nightwish, Evanescence and some other great bands) and to non-rock music (favorite tracks from Eurovision + everything that arises good associations and that can be put on my 8GB flash card), simply playing with my cat)))))))))
