Hi there! My name is Semyon.
I'm traveller from Russia. Usually I choose odd ways of travelling: I hitchhiked more than 1 Earth's equator (40000km), climbed to mountin without needed equipment, cycle a thousand km every year.
Anyway, I like move my body through space in any way.
In travelling I want to see real world, not "tourists" world. I like communicate this lokals, try local food, use local public transport, read local news ets.

I am astronomer, both as a specialist and just as an amateur.
I works as engineer, our lab developes spacecrafts. Well, mostly Fourier-transform infrared spectrometers, if it tell you something.
I like watch stars at night. Contrary to popular belief, it ain't help me in job :) Sometimes I ready to go to the end of the world just to see something unusual on the sky. And I like show the sky to people and make them wonder!

I like cooking, but some people find my dishes... weird. Nevertheless usually I'm the chef on all hikes. :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I take part in developing a spacecraft which will go to Mars in 2022 (but unfortunately the mission was canceled)
I managed cameras of spacecraft Luna-25, which headed to the Moon, but unfortunately it crashed.
Damn, it seems I attract space failures
