Hi, I have diverse background. I was once a Belarusian student and politician, but circumstances led me to move to the USA and put my studies on hold. I worked as a Graphic Designer for a year before enlisting in the US Army at the end of 2019. In April 2021, I married my lovely wife, and we're currently enjoying a happy married life. However, in May 2022, I unfortunately suffered a leg injury that resulted in my medical retirement from the military. As a result, I'm unable to walk for extended periods and can only reminisce about my days of hitchhiking and backpacking. Despite my recent challenges, I'm an open-minded person who enjoys photography and playing guitar. I love attending concerts and festivals whenever I have the chance. Let's connect and share our experiences!
