Dima Georgia, 37, is a chief mate from Constanta, a Romanian town with a long maritime tradition. In a recent interview at Ningbo Zhoushan Port, he shared his reason for choosing the seafaring life.
In his hometown, many choose this path — not just for the good pay, but to see the world beyond. Georgia has visited several cities in China. He prefers places where he can explore the local culture and enjoy regional food over tall skyscrapers. He doesn't follow social media recommendations; instead, he walks around and sees for himself.
For Dima, sailing is not just a job but a passionate pursuit shaped by tradition and personal curiosity.
