My name is Dmitry. I'm from Russia.

I was working as a science researcher in Moscow but in December 2015 have decided to leave everything to follow my dream and travel the world. I have started my journey in South America. Hitchhiking on everythuing I could find, playing ukulele on the street or picking up small jobs for a couple of days I made my way all around Latin America from Argentinian Patagonia to the notrh of Mexico. Latino people are really nice, friendly and always ready to help so it was a blast.

Than I started my jearney around asia. I have viseted deserts in Mongolia. Played my music in Korea and Hong-Kong, travaled aroudn Vietnam and Laos on my own motrbike, sailed down Mekong river on an old fishing boat. Hitchied across Thai temples, Malays mosques, Indonesian vulcanos and through the ocean across Philipino islands.

Now my trip around africa starts! Very exited!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel like staying in one place with the same people makes your mind stuck in a certain form. I want to travel the world to explore cultures, people and every possible way of thinking there is.

Interests

I'm really into cinema. I love all kind of movies from European art-house to marvel cinematic universe. Music is a huge part of my life. I like science and always try to learn new things. Books help a lot but I believe that people are the best sourse. Also I love sports and try to exercise everyday even while traveling.
