Bangkok taught me that sometimes shade is just decoration 😂 But in Pai? It actually works! We came to Pai Canyon during the hottest part of the afternoon, and somehow hiking was still possible. Beautiful views, a great trail, and once again nature recharged my batteries. ⛰️ #PaiCanyon #

The sacred fish cave in Mae Hong Son did not disappoint! ⛰️✨ Looking down into this massive limestone basin and seeing all the carp was surreal. It’s one thing to hear about it, but seeing it in person is a completely different experience. Such an unforgettable stop on our Northern Thailand

Not everything in life is for sale. You cannot buy these fish. You cannot catch them. You can only watch them, feed them and respect them. Some things are more important than money. #MaeHongSon #ThamPla #SacredFish #LifeInThailand #ThailandTravel

Living in Bangkok, sometimes I forget how much I love nature. Then I see mountains. I hear the river. I see hundreds of fish. And suddenly my brain is happy again 😂 Mae Hong Son, you are beautiful. #MaeHongSon #ThailandNature #LifeInThailand #NorthernThailand #ThailandAdventure

I’m still learning how to live in Thailand. Sometimes I understand things. Sometimes I just stand in a temple, look at the walls, see a cat sleeping peacefully, and think: “Okay… maybe I don’t need to understand "things".” Maybe I just need to slow down, be quiet, and enjoy this small moment

Going into a curve, the front end just washed out. My heart completely jumped. It was one of those slow-motion, split-second moments where a serious accident is staring you right in the face, and every basic human instinct screams at you to tense up and fight the machine. But instead of grabbing

Want to know a secret?  Here is a simple trick for everyone. If you want your teacher to love you, just take a small notebook and take notes while they are speaking.   Keep them brief. When a teacher sees this, they will love it and remember you. Believe me, it works! It might even help you g

They say there is a "generation gap" between young and old people. I was a confused 23-year-old student. He was a legend of the theater, almost 80 years old. ​But inside his head? He was younger than me. He didn't lecture me. He understood me. When we talked, I didn't feel like I was talk

In life, you are lucky if you meet one true Mentor. I met mine in Yekaterinburg. His name was Vladimir Ivanovich Marchenko. He was a "People's Artist of Russia" (Народный Артист). ​He died in 2021, but his voice is still in my head. Everything I know about acting, about art, and about being a m

Suddenly, I was alone in Yekaterinburg. But instead of giving up, I found my true path. I entered the Yekaterinburg State Theatre Institute (EGTI), the only theater institute in the whole Ural region. I got in on my first attempt with a full government scholarship. ​I lost the relationship,

I traded the most beautiful city in Russia for a city of factories and tanks. My mom asked me: "Dima, are you okay? Are you crazy?".   ​Usually, people move to the big city. I moved away from it. The reason? I started my life from zero in the Urals.   ​Have you ever made a crazy decision
