ABOUT ME

Main interests: yoga, spirituality, good food, cycling, climbing.

I climb in the climbing centre 2-3 times per week. Been on climbing trips in the UK and Spain. Climbing has been amazingly effective in exposing my behavioural patterns and attitude to life. When I'm climbing I get to face all my little petty character weaknesses and really get to know myself....

I'm adaptable, independent, honest,tidy. I enjoy a good conversation and like to learn from other people. I like pets, cats, dogs, fish, donkeys, whatever :) I don't smoke and it's very unlikely of me to brake into your house drunk.

I like good food, i don't like bad food, and I know the difference between the two. There was time I've been obsessed with health and nutrition so I would be happy to share my knowledge if it comes up in a conversation. Never been into drinking but am open to learning about local specialties.

Yoga and meditation. I've mastered it enough to feel some benefits. Yoga offers very intriguing promises... such as awakening, realising our connection to the source, experiencing oneness. It constantly lures me back to practice and work on myself.

TCM. I recently started a course in Chinese Medicine. This system really works and I'm now having a lot of fun sticking needles into myself, patients, experimenting with Chinese herbs.

Spirituality. I get constant nagging in my heart to find the connection to the source and to everybody/ everything in this world. I'm listening to a great youtube channel Buddha at The Gas Pump, I recently bought a couple of new spiritual books and I'm now all equipped to do this "spiritual awakening" thing. Joking. But seriously, this topic bothers me a lot.

I was born in Russia.
I live in London. Its very cold here at times. But it has amazing diversity of people and I love it.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be flexible but true to myself. Eastern philosophies appeal to me.simplicity and minimalism, however I do appreciate sophistication in others
