Hey, I'm Dmitry and together with Stacey we've been travelling for the last 2 years (mostly SE Asia and Europe).
We both are easy-going, eco-minded people and outdoor lovers.

We've recently moved to Canada and are exploring it to find a place to settle down and new friends and connections to make.

In terms of activities, we'd love to play some board games, go for a walk/hike, have a music jam together (I play guitar and some more, we're also beginner djembe players) or simply spend some quality time talking. We believe that everyone has a story to tell, and one can learn a lot from others - that what makes Couchsurfing so appealing to us.

Interests

I'm a web developer, love playing music and quirky movies.
Stacey's background is psychology and she's fascinated with learning about the tricks our minds play on us.

We are both interested in healthy lifestyle, mindfulness, conscious consumption, nature and outdoors (we hike and learn to rock climb).
