Description

I’m happiest when I’m moving, exploring and learning something new. I’ve spent the last several years working and travelling in the mountains, guiding hiking and trekking trips and meeting people from very different backgrounds.

Nature is a big part of my life — I love hiking, trail running, climbing, skiing and simply being outside. At the same time, what makes travelling special for me is not only the places themselves, but the people I meet along the way and the feeling of becoming part of a new place, even for a short time.

I’m motivated by curiosity and the desire to keep growing. I enjoy learning practical skills, sharing what I know, taking responsibility and being useful to the people around me. I also really value simple everyday things: cooking together, long conversations, discovering local places, good coffee, music, and laughing about completely stupid things.

For me, happiness is having a life that feels alive — with enough adventure, people, nature and space to keep discovering what comes next.

More details about your skills

I’m an experienced outdoor person and have been working in tourism and travelling independently for more than six years. I’m used to living in different conditions, taking care of myself and being responsible for everyday tasks without much supervision.

I’m practical, physically active and not afraid of hard or repetitive work. I’m happy to help with cleaning, cooking, gardening, taking care of a house or property, organising things, looking after pets, doing outdoor work and other everyday tasks. I’m also comfortable with long working days and work that requires being outside.

Through my work as a hiking and trekking guide, I’ve learned to be organised, responsible and attentive to details. I’m used to planning things, solving unexpected problems and adapting quickly when circumstances change.

I enjoy learning new skills, so I’m happy to try things I haven’t done before. I’m generally the kind of person who sees what needs to be done and gets on with it rather than waiting to be asked.

I also have experience with photography, writing and social media, so I can help with creating content or presenting a place online if that is useful. I speak Russian and English and am currently working on making my English more fluent.
