About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm cheerful, open-hearted, a little bit shy, sometimes lazy person))) Though from time to time I can be very sarcastic, too emotional and grumpy and whiny one. I'm very accurate and honest. I'm a dreamer. Also i'm an excentric at some kind of way.

I have finished university and have a degree in Information technologies. Now I'm working in a small IT company, dealing with Microsoft products.

But my heart belongs to art. I can't imagine my life without creativity. I'm a fan of theatre. Precisely musical theatre. I'm hoping to get a degree in directing in a short period of time. Also I'm a long lasting Sondheim lover.

I can't live without travelling! I wish to make an all around the world trip some day. I like to plan my journeys by myself and discover some rare and unique places.
I'm a fan of hiking. Mountains are the best! You feel so small when you near them-all your problems go away. My greatest dream is just to travel...to see beautiful places and meet some new people. I dream to meet a sunrise at Machu-Picchu.

I have many interests, sometimes I think there's too many. I won't even start mentioning them. I'm a good listener and can keep the conversation going.

From time to time I volunteer for the organization, which deals with lonely elderly people in retirement houses. We come to some distant parts of the regions nearby Moscow and bring some useful things and sing songs to them.

Oh, I'm an aesthete...in a bad meaning of this word, i think)))))))))))

PHILOSOPHY

I like to think about myself like someone who never stops. My life is motion - either physical or mental. I'm grateful for some events in my life that made me a better person, at leat I hope so. I really try to live my life at it's fullest. I never understood people, who make oneself unhappy with their own hands.
I try not to live by the checklist, if you understand what I mean, I like to do the things I enjoy and what I feel will make me experience the best sides of this world.
