Evgeniy is an amazing guy! I have known him only for four days when we decided to travel together. We hitchhiked from Moscow to Krasnodar and then went mountain hiking in Lagonaki. For me, he is the perfect person to travel with. His mindset is very special and he is always calm and almost always happy. When we hitchhiked, I could completely trust him and sometimes he did all the job for me (talking to a driver, choosing a spot), such an amazing feeling! He has many interesting stories to tell, I have learned a lot about life and my own country. Meeting Evgeniy has changed the way I see the world and I'm very grateful to him. He is a thoughtful, open-minded, and generous person and has a unique sense of humor :)
If you have a chance to meet him, totally do! Maybe it will give you some important insights too, in the worst case you just meet an interesting and polite traveler :)
