ABOUT ME

My name is Sergey Gorbanev. I`m from Moscow, Russia. I enjoy travelling and communicating with new people. I have been to European countries, such as Italy, Swiss, Germany and others. But Asia and it`s culture seem to me the most attractive. I like to exchange experiences and knowledge.

My wife as well inspired with Japanese culture, and we have been there few times. During last trip I got a lot of pleasure from practicing Kendo in country of its origin.

I graduated from a technical university and I have a lot of job experience in an engineering company as an executive as well. But meanwhile my hobbies have led me to become a teacher.
