Hi guys. My name is Pavel Alasheev (pronounced 'Pah-vel). I live in Samara, a large city in central Russia. I have always been interested in personal growth and i am a big fan of Steve's writing. I believe he is by far the best writer in this field.
I've been to US three times, around 2 years in total and I've really enjoyed it. Although our governments are not on good terms, i believe there's a lot for us to learn from each other.
I am 21 and i'm in my senior year in college, majoring in computer security (yeah i am supposed to be an evil russian hacker
). I also work full-time as a web developer for an american company.
and some random facts about myself:
- went vegetarian 6 months ago
- haven't watched TV for 3 or 4 years
- used to be a video game addict (counter-strike), but now on a 30-day trial to quitting it cold turkey. i also plan to replace it with airsoft, should be better for my health.
- i have a passion for music. In my spare time I play guitar, compose songs and dream of becoming a rock star.
that's it. it's nice to meet you all.
