About Me

My name is Misha, I am 26 years old and... I could cornyly say that I like to travel, but it sounds too ordinary. I live by traveling, I draw energy from them, they make me live on and strive to see and learn something new.
Traveling is a way for me to know myself and the world. Also, I just can't sit in one place.
I often travel alone, so I belong only to myself and am independent of anyone, but sometimes it can be very boring and lonely :D
So sometimes I travel with a friend or with my girlfriend.
I cannot boast of my English, but I am trying to develop in this direction.
I love board games, skiing, rafting, traveling, food and altitude.
I am always glad to meet new people and will keep any friendly person company. I don't drink, smoke or make noise. (if we didn't plan it :D)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to watch movies, and watched a huge number of them. I can watch any genre, but I hate musicals. Usually I do not watch movies more than once, but there are exceptions: "fast and furious", "Interstellar" and "Into the Wild".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked more than 110 thousand kilometers.
I walked the Pamir Highway alone, using only my legs and sometimes hitchhiking.
He visited 30 countries in his 18-22 years, before covid-19.
He opened his photo exhibition at the age of 18 with the theme "on the verge". There I climbed high-altitude objects without insurance, hung from them on my hands and risked my life for no reason. (I was stupid)
Climbed on an abandoned TV mast 355 meters high, was above the clouds and hung from it on my hands.
At the age of 18, in one of his first trips to Russia, he met an American, whom he drove more than 600 km in his car for a week, being without a license. That's how I learned to drive.
I was harassed several times on the road and there was a real danger to my life, but each time I managed to avoid negative consequences.
I made repairs in my apartment from scratch. It turned out very cozy and I'm proud of it.
