Born in Russia, I didn't really travel until the age of 16. Then, moved to US, but still didn't travel until the age of 22. And then, a magic has happened, I became obsessed with traveling and moving around. My goal is to visit Brazil, Japan, India, Czech Republic, Poland, Serbia, Estonia, Lithuania, Crete in the next couple years. Another goal is to learn Arabic, Chinese, and Greek in the next couple years.

The above was written in 2000.
Today is April 8, 2009:
Reading what I wrote 9 years ago makes me smile. I had a goal to travel, and I did. Spent 4 months in India, have been to Poland, Serbia ,Estonia, Lithuania, Brazil (all those places listed above) and many many more (Morocco, Turkey, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Uruguay, Argentina, Bulgaria, Latvia, Canada, Austria, Romania, Hungary etc etc)...
I am smiling not because I traveled, I am smiling because my goal has changed..it's no longer travel or learning language...it's advancing myself spiritually, physically, analytically.
