Self-description

«Such as I am — this is the kind of person I am. Just a solitary man. Deeply mixed polish-jewish-ukrainian blood. I like asking myself questions and I question all I can see around me. I’m stiff — in the true sense of the word».

Weltanschauung

Never say never.
What’s done is done.
How do you do? — One day closer to death.
Don’t be afraid of what the people say.
Who are you and who am I
To say we know the reason why?
Some are born; some men die
Beneath one infinite sky.
There’ll be war, there’ll be peace.
But everything one day will cease.
All the iron turned to rust;
All the proud men turned to dust.
And so all things, time will mend.
So this song will end.

Hitch-hiking style

Does not count his miles and mark his «own records»
Prepares as well as possible and then improvises
In emergency situations tries to remain calm but straight
Prefers to travel alone or with a partner very well proved

Why joined hitchwiki project?

I was always aimed to be useful, commander!
