ABOUT ME

Traveller, musician, poet, translator

I'm interested in many things concerning life: animals, ecology, nature, people, socializing, music, music of nature, music of people, science, web, magic, influence, drama, and at last but not least humour ;)

Maybe I'm not so sociable (depending on what aspects of socializing to use), but very easy-going...I hope to think so ;)
and maybe too much vulnerable and genuine

My mobile for travel outside Russia: +37259496390. This is my Russian phone number: +79688581977 (for any contacts, help, care and hospitality)
