About Me

I am always open to new activities, people, and experiences. I am interested in people, their lives, and their stories. Those who are growing, changing, expanding worldviews are especially valuable for me.

It takes a couple of months, and I can't recognize my former self. I worked in a web studio, participated in the development of indie games, practiced in the human rights organization, lived with ecologists on the Barents Sea. Fought in medieval tournaments, participated in road cycling. Edited the student magazine about art, wrote articles, participated in theatrical life. Led huge gaming community, making videos and cartoons, read public lectures about astronomy and science.

Today, I continue to learn, to travel, to write, to realize ideas, and look for like-minded people.
