Hello! We're a married couple, both 38 years old, Oleksii (Alex) and Iuliia (Julia).

Our journey began in 2017 when we met, and since then, we've been avid travelers. We've explored Iran, spent 8 months in India, and cherished our time in Thailand, where we've lived for about 3 years in total.

Alex is a Ukrainian chef with experience of working as a cook on large cargo vessels. He adores gardening and very skilled in it. Julia, originally from Russia, used to work in an office in Moscow before joining Alex in his adventures.

Alex is passionate about crypto and cooking, while Julia is interested in psychology, neuroscience, and physical activities.

We're both proponents of minimalism and a simple lifestyle. We strongly believe that the world is a wonderful place to live, where one can explore, embrace humanistic ideals, and be tolerant of others.

Our travel plans have shifted due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We're now seeking a peaceful place to invest our time in a community and build our new life.

We've been given the opportunity to move to Alberta, Canada, where we're excited to start anew, filled with new experiences.
