I worked as a truck driver for several years and saw many cities and beautiful places around Russia. In spring of 2015 i recognized that i get bored of my life and need something else. It kicks me to make a hitchhiking year trip around South-East Asia and Middle East through 65000 km and 16 countries. It was thing that changed me a lot. Summer 2017 with my friend we hitchhiked around Europe. 4 month of adventures! Currently live in San Francisco...

I’m not a party, clubs, alcohol, drugs, smoke - person. Not anymore. But I would love to explore nature and some beautiful places of your country.

I want to get wisdom of people and share my experience.
I want to know what the hell I’m actually doing here.

Also sometimes I just need to rest =)
