About Me
CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I grew up in the capital of Turkmenistan – Ashgabat. Finished school there and then I won the four-year-scholarship to study in Bishkek(Kyrgyzstan), and so my trip began! I've traveled before this time of course too: when I was little boy I went to Ukraine with my mom; then in school I was to Germany for one month â studied in Gymnasium there (that was an exchange program). To study in university in Kyrgyzstan I went like Harry Potter =) at my 18th birthday (customs service officers congratulated me checking my passport). In Bishkek I had the best time of my life â being a student. I found a lot of wonderful interesting people that became my friends forever! I enjoyed going to mountains (hiking, picnics with friends), to the Issyk-Kul lake (the water is cool there, in both senses:). Between junior and sophomore years I went to Germany for Hochschul-Sommerkurs. That was amazing time in Muenster city. After finishing the university I stayed for working for a year in Bishkek, and then decided to move to the beautiful Russian city – Saint-Petersburg, where I have been working for five years, and currently I've moved to The Netherlands.
Sorry for a long story =) Ready to tell and share all my experience and thoughts with everyone who wants to know me closer.
PHILOSOPHY
I live to learn myself and people surrounding me.
