Originally from Russia, I grew up in Texas, and have been culture diving, exploring lesser known locales, enjoying all sides of this crazy, diverse world for most of adulthood. I guess traveling and visiting new places is my #1 hobby. Passion and curiosity is what keeps me going. Extremes and adventures exhilarate me. I pride myself on the ability to adapt and persevere. Meeting and exploring life with like-minded and joyous people is the greatest part of my journey! I would like to meet folks to hit it off with...whether that means a few hours of an intense conversation or a laughathon over a layover, a weekend hike or city-dwelling partner, or a proper out into the boonies for a few days.
