CURRENT MISSION

Looking forward to a long holiday in Kazakhstan and Georgia :)

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in other cultures, like travelling (preferably in Eastern Europe and beyond), swimming and reading as well as meeting up with friends. Oh, and I am trying not to forget my Russian - more or less successfully;-).

PHILOSOPHY

A tree is strong through its roots, and a human being through his friends.
