More of outdoor person, enjoy being in the nature and sea, like mountains and sunrises. Meditation, hiking and gym are regular part of my life (apart from work). Recently got into dancing (hip hop and jazz funk). Would regard myself as sporty and fit and living healthy lifestyle.

I have done parachute jumping and travelling by hitchhiking in Europe. I like classical music, reading, history and art. I thought to become a historian in high school, but end up doing economics and a decade later clinical informatics :)

Originally from Ukraine, a third of my life I spent in China and Hong Kong. My friends calls me a “white face with an Asian heart” (whatever that means 🤷‍♂️).

I can cook for us and share stories of living in various parts of the world.
