Hi Steemit! My name is Slava. I am a system administrator and a kayaker from Russia.

 Hi, everybody.

My name is Slava.

I am 31 years old. 

 I live in Russia, in the city of Perm. My city stands on the Kama river in the center of the Ural mountains. It is the large industrial center. The longest railroad in the world passes through Perm  - the Trans-Siberian Railway which connects Moscow and Vladivostok. 

 I am the system administrator. I am a supporter of "Open Source". I work with Linux and Windows networks.Recently I began to be interested in cryptocurrencies. I get Ethereum and Steem a little.In Cryptocurrencies I am involved by the speed of commission of operations and lack of control from outside. It seems to me that distribution of cryptocurrencies will help to reduce the number of busy persons in the bank sphere and they will be able to be engaged in something creative and interesting. I hope in the nearest future robots will be able to do all boring and routine work for people.

 In my spare time I do kayaking in summer. Our Kama river is wide and quiet that's why it is possible to receive initial preparation. But  the nearest place for trainings on white water is in 450 kilometers from us. It is necessary to take vacation and to go to train to Altai or the Caucasus. But it's really good. Kayaking is attractive because you receive adrenaline much longer than in many other extreme types of sports. 

 Last year I was in a mountaineering camp Karakol in Kyrgyzstan. I received the 3rd category on Mountaineering. For me it was a little easier than for others as I ride a bicycle much, and it is very important in mountaineering endurance. 

 I swim very well and completed the PADI open water course in diving in Egypt few years ago. The underwater world of the Red Sea is unusual and beautiful. Unfortunately vacationers spoil those places where they can reach. Those parts of reeves which are available from the coast are already lifeless. And in general I decided to reserve this hobby on future. When I am not able to be engaged in more active types of sports - I will dive. 

 I go in for mountain skiing in the winter. And I’m lucky in it. In our area there is a quite good alpine skiing Gubakha camp to which people go from the neighboring and even distant areas. However in comparison with Sheregesh it  loses in many points. After all our Ural Mountains old and low. 

 When I have free time I read popular scientific books on evolution and psychology. I am a supporter of scientific outlook, thanks to science and technology we live better now. I consider that bases of critical thinking and "a scientific method" have to be taught at elementary school. It will help mankind to get rid of the remains of pseudoscientific fictions and to come to general prosperity.
