Hello everyone!

I began my journey in Brest, Belarus, where I was born and raised. After graduating from university in 2018, I spent a couple of years working in an office, only to realize that the routine wasn’t for me. In search of new experiences, I moved to Poland—first to Wrocław, a city with its own unique atmosphere that I highly recommend visiting, and later to Warsaw, where I’ve been living since February 2022. Warsaw, with its bigger and louder vibe, has a distinctive “capital” energy, though I still find my heart returning to quieter, more natural settings.

Recently, in September 2023, I moved back to Brest, embracing the familiarity of home while continuing my journey of self-discovery.

Hobbies & Passions:

These days, I spend more time in nature, often through hunting and other outdoor activities. For me, hunting is less about the act itself and more about the meditative experience of observing the world around me. Time in the forest or by the river allows me to slow down, reflect, and connect with nature on a deeper level.

I’m also an avid cyclist, mostly enjoying road cycling, and I have a passion for hitchhiking when I travel—there’s something thrilling about the uncertainty and the connections you make along the way. In summer 2022, I took a solo 5-day boat trip along the Pripyat River in southern Belarus, which was an unforgettable adventure and a true escape into nature.

Photography remains an interest of mine, though nowadays, it’s more of a side hobby than a primary focus. Still, I love capturing moments, especially on film, whenever inspiration strikes.

Philosophy:

While cities and interactions with people are important for our daily lives, I find my peace and energy in quieter, more remote places—forests, rivers, mountains, or a deserted beach. These are the places that recharge my soul and give me the clarity I need in a fast-paced world.
