Description

Note: This account was originally created for two people, but we're currently traveling separately and using it as a separate Workawayers.

I'm Maksim, 24 y.o. — just a guy on a journey to better understand who I really am. I'm passionate about sports (as much as possible!), well-being, health, languages, cultures, history, philosophy, and psychology. I try to grow step by step in all of these areas.

Over the past few years, I've traveled through many European countries — mostly by bicycle — and explored parts of South Asia through hitchhiking and volunteering. I love mountains, physical activity, and being surrounded by nature. I'm especially interested in how to protect wild nature and make that effort more meaningful and effective.

I'm working on improving my language, communication, and personal skills, aiming to reach a new level of awareness and connection with the world. Right now, I'm especially drawn to South American countries and I'm excited to learn Spanish to dive deeper into the local culture.

What truly motivates me is gaining valuable experience, expanding my worldview, and sharing what I can along the way. I believe real value comes not only from learning, but also from giving — through helping others, exchanging stories, and discovering more about myself in the process.

More details about my language interests
Languages are actually one of the most important areas of growth for me. I truly believe that language can be a key — opening the door to a completely different way of living and connecting with the world. It's not just a means of communication, but a powerful tool for self-development and personal transformation.
