CURRENT MISSION

Lasting escape of the cubicle cage and to my way across the world.

ABOUT ME

I moved to the US from Russia at the age of 5. My goal is to live life to my fullest and I am always striving to do that. I like to cook & eat delicious food, go to shows, read books and go out with friends. I am a laid back guy who is passionate about life with a huge case of wanderlust.

PHILOSOPHY

On some days you wonder what it all means. And on some days you find out. It's like suddenly seeing a huge black pig in your headlights when your running 80 miles an hour on ice. Boom. Total clarity. No more grey area. -Hunter S Thompson
