My personal philosophy is the search for "something more".

I travel primarily by hitchhiking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiking 🚘👍

Until now, I hitchhiked in 12 countries in Europe and Asia.

Why? Because:
~ I have a small budget
~ I do not know when I will finish traveling
~ I love unexpected meetings and events, even if it is a negative experience
Negative experience, this is the only thing that motivates us and makes us move forward.

Do not worry about me:
~ Usually I have a tent, a sleeping bag and a tourist rug.
~ I have a very low comfort threshold.

Employment history:
~ System Administrator \ Development company \ Russia
~ Teamleader of Technical Support Department \ IT consulting company \ Russia
~ Foreign worker for Sea abalone, Seaweed - farm \ Private vessel \ South Korea
~ Sea worker on vessel \ Private vessel \ South Korea
~ Sometimes a volunteer \ While traveling

People who know me best say that I’m reliable and creative guy.
I have piercings and tattoos. Perhaps this is unacceptable for you.

I do not believe in people who do not see dreams.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

COOL: Woke up, took a backpack and went to travel for 8 months.
ADVENTURE: Nearly died in an accident on a ship in South Korea. It happened with a fracture of the shoulder and a near-death experience.
STUPID: Woke up in Berlin with a completely tattooed hand. Yep, at that time I had a really deep depression.
USEFUL: Read 100 books in one year. Very pleased about this.
