Thats my telegram profile

@dobarburek

Please read my profile! No war. I dont support it.

Fully Vaccinated.
Currently in ARGENTINA.
I'm clean, conscientious, respectful, adventurous, and openminded.

I first took time off to explore Russia, Balkans and EU, and now South America. For now, I consider myself a global nomad because I am all about the journey rather than any specific destination. I'm staying with people via workaway, couchsurfing, and friends of friends. This provides me the opportunity to expand my understanding of culture diferences, how people live, how their minds work, and getting to experience their lifestyles with them. This allows me to better understand myself too.

I grew up in Syberia, but have lived, worked, and studied in several places. I most recently lived in Poland and near the border of North Corea on a Russian side. My professional background is nothing, cause I'm 18, but I played intruments, learned languages and still doing ANKI (best app for it). One of my goals for this trip is learn all the local accents of Spanish/Portuguese in each of South America countries.

I enjoy experiencing new geographies, both urban and natural. I am most happy when in the company of people who are living their life and doing what they wanted to do. I like playing sports and games of all kinds, conversation, listening to stories, reading, learning, exploring, hiking and other outdoor activities.

I can get along with anyone. Being respectful of my hosts and their home is something I take seriously. It's important to me for both of us to feel all the better for the experience. I'm happy to spend time together, do my own thing, or a combination. Also happy to help out with any chores. It's important for me to contribute in some way.

The best way to experience a place is through the people.

Don't allow your desired life trajectory to be redirected by systems that were not designed to maximize your individual potential.
