Description

ЗДРАВСТВУЙТЕ! Hello! I'm Aleksey, also known as Aleks or Leha, from Barnaul, Russia. Another new traveler here. A year ago, I traveled across Russia by hitchhiking, covering a huge distance from my hometown to Saint Petersburg via Moscow. A few years back, I worked as a conductor on a passenger train that journeyed to the North of Russia. I was deeply captivated by the experience of traveling, the unique way of life, the diverse people and places, and the rich tapestry of different cultures.

Last year, I worked as a traffic light engineer in Barnaul, but it turned out to be a dull job devoid of any sense of fulfillment. Currently, I find myself free and eager to explore the world.

Who am I? I'm a shy, modest guy, and a bookworm. Some of my favorite writers include Jack London, Vladimir Nabokov, Charles Bukowski, Gaito Gazdanov, Sasha Sokolov, Aleksey Ivanov, Georgy Ivanov, Roman Michailov, and Joseph Brodsky.

More details about your skills

Age

25

What else ...

I adore table tennis and basketball (not really good at that one). I can play chess, but I'm not familiar with gambits and all that. I used to play with my grandfather during my childhood. Additionally, I enjoy board games, camping, watching good films, and listening to good music.

In short, I'm just an average guy who loves his life, his friends and environment. I am happy to do what I do.
