(still thinking of a gap year / relocation)

I enjoy traveling at all, no matter where I am: crossing the mountains, exploring an ancient city or doing white water rafting. Like to try something new, from airsoft to science research, haha. I don't smoke and prefer sports, outdoors and a healthy lifestyle.
My Instagram page is a gallery of mountain photos I've made:

I'm from Russia and have been living in Moscow for several years working in software development area.
