I travel quite a lot — been to and lived in great places and countries of the world like India, China, Armenia, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico and USA (where I reside). The recent place I spent almost 4 years in — Ecuador, I consider it my second home — the land of scenic landscapes, photogenic villages and rainforests, my source of the inspiration forever.

Ecuador, 2012. I'm climbing Cotopaxi volcano - almost 1 mile up on foot with crampons and ice axes.

Most of my free time I love to spend prototyping new ideas, painting, traveling, watching movies, playing video games, reading Sci-Fi, baking and surfing.

My other projects include photography shows at safari.am, Crispy Driven Pixels and VR startup Microtrip.
