Hi! I’m Dimitrii, an adventurer and dreamer who loves adventures and active recreation. My life is a combination of travel, sports, and learning new things.
I am starting my life from scratch, leaving the past behind. I dream of becoming an industrial climber, but that’s just a plan for now — we’ll see how it goes. Currently, I dedicate a lot of time to learning German. If you can share some tips or spare some time for a conversation, I’d be very grateful!

I used to organize leisure activities: creating fun, active, and diverse trips. The greatest pleasure I received was seeing people’s happy emotions — the best reward for my efforts.

I love cycling. I learned how to ride quite late, at the age of 14. I especially enjoy speeding along forest trails, dirt roads, and fields. I dream of traveling across different countries on a bike but haven’t yet mustered the courage to do so.

I enjoy the thrill and adrenaline of rope jumping. My most memorable jump was in winter, from a bridge, with a dive into the water. It was freezing.
I adore skydiving and will definitely get certified one day to be able to jump anywhere.
I also snowboard, ice skate, and practice freediving, being able to hold my breath for 2.5 minutes.
Rafting is my ultimate favorite. I’ve done it in Ukraine and Turkey and dream of diving deeper into this sport.

I also love simply walking aimlessly and enjoying the moments.
I find myself in hikes. The most incredible hike of my life was through the center of Iceland. I dream of returning there one day. I also really want to see the Alps, but I’ll need to adapt to the rules in Germany, where camping is prohibited. I’ve already bought a hammock and would be happy to hear your advice.
I believe that every journey is an opportunity not only to see new places but also to meet amazing people who can change your life.

I’ve explored many rooftops in Kyiv and Kharkiv, unfinished buildings, and abandoned sites — it’s my passion. I’ve often had to run from the police but never got caught. I climbed an ancient church in Venice. The view there was unforgettable, the highlight of this beautiful city.
I’ve been to Chernobyl twice. The second time, we went on a two-day tour and stayed overnight at a hotel. We explored the entire zone, even the restricted areas. I definitely need to try *Stalker 2*.

I have a wonderful cat who, unfortunately, isn’t with me now, but we’ll reunite soon. With her arrival, I started making various wooden items: shelves, scratching posts, and other accessories to make her life active and comfortable. I even received orders from friends for these creations.

A fun fact about me: I’ve launched dozens of hot air balloons into the sky. I love the process, the people around, and the morning nature. But I’ve never been up in a hot air balloon myself. =)

In my plans — to see the world, especially South America and New Zealand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and dream of seeing the whole world. Couchsurfing is a platform that connects people with similar interests. Here, I’ve met many amazing and fascinating individuals who have changed my perspective on life.
I’m always open to new connections and hope we’ll have an unforgettable time together!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music for me is all about emotions, but I rarely remember the names of songs or artists.

I enjoy movies with happy endings, fantasy, and detective stories. However, I’m more captivated by anime. It’s a vast world I recently discovered. I don’t like comedies with silly jokes.

Among books, my favorites are Shantaram, Atlas Shrugged, and literature about mountain trekking. The last book I read was about Netflix, and it left a strong impression on me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job and went to Egypt to work as an animator. It was a challenging but very exciting experience that gave me a lot of emotions.

I can tell about my adventures: hitchhiking through Turkey and Georgia, a trip to Iceland, and how to visit this country on a budget.
