“The world is a book and those who do not travel, read only one page of it" Augustin de Hipona
Traveling develop the ability to quickly orient in a foreign country, understand the
incomprehensible situation and to find a common language with unknown people. It helps
me to be more confident outside of comfort zone. Also, to see familiar things through the
prism of another culture.
Additionally, most probably there is nothing that supports conversation with friends and
companions better than a stories happen during trips.
The list of some foreign countries visited by me :
Switzerland
Montenegro
Germany
Austria
Spain
Russia
Kazakhstan
Belarus
Serbia
Poland
"Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art" Ansel Adams
Photography makes contribution to the development of my thinking and imagination
abilities, significantly broaden the mind and create positive conditions for development of
creativity. My favorite genre is a portrait – one of the most difficult genres of photography.
“In order to life made sense you need to start collecting" Semen Altov
Collecting of coins and postal stamps helps broaden my horizons, learn history and
affects the formation of the cultural and intellectual level.
Also, it teaches to the accuracy, perseverance, curiosity, creativity, enriching the inner
world and improves character
“Demands from yourself the impossible in order to get the most" . Unknown author
Sport activities makes a positive effect on the formation of my personal qualities such as
dedication, resourcefulness and the ability to solve complex problems. Also, it helps to find
optimal solutions and to develop innovative approaches. I like to play football, bicycling and
bowling.
“Be patient and calm - for no one can catch fish in anger." Herbert Hoover
Fishing helps me to develop patient and calm, diligence as well as focus on time of
response.
“As a soccer player, I wanted an FA Cup winner's medal. As an actor you want an Oscar. As a chef it's three-Michelin's stars, there's no greater than that. So pushing yourself to the extreme creates a lot of pressure and a lot of excitement, and more importantly, it shows on the plate.” Gordon Ramsay
Cooking contributes to the development of my accuracy and responsibility for the result.
My favorite dishes are salads, grilled fish and meat, as well as pilaf.
