Since my childhood, i have been always attracted by nature, expeditions, travels and exploring the world. For sure, mountaineering became a revelation for me, as on the 2nd of August i finally went to Karpaty mountains for a one week hiking trip with tents and big backpacks.

Since 1 month passed mountaineering become my true passion and calling. I started to develop this side of my life in a professionnal way.

My next project is connected with the Mount Elbrus (5,642 m, Russia). It is very famous mountain which is sleeping volcano in mountaineering world - it is called the highest mountain of Europe, but also historical place which is connected with Greek mythology.
