russianbear93

My name is Sergey but all my friends call me Serge. I was born and raised in Northern Russia. Moved to Brooklyn in '93 where I learned to speak English. Been living in Arizona since '96 where I go to school and play guitar in a metal band Kvasura. The two things I love in life the most is playing my guitar and travelling. There is nothing better than discovering and exploring new cities and places. I especially enjoy visiting historical and ancient sights as well as anything strange or unexplained.
