About Me

Hey there! I am Ukrainian traveling around the globe with my wife, Anastasiia.

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world, meet amazing people, share the little knowledge and experience that I've grown to obtain, and have a great time no matter where I am.

ABOUT ME

People say I'm easygoing and affectionate. I don't need very much time or motivation to set out to do something, and spontaneous adventures are usually the best. I'd love to hear your thoughts and impressions about me in references, and you can always check out what others think of me there as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started using Couch Surfing as a surfer and grew to love the community here. I had only positive experiences hosting awesome people in Kiev, Ukraine since then.

At the moment I live abroad, and move from place to place frequently, so I don't have much chance hosting people. However, I would like to renew my couch availability in the near future and look forward to meeting new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a very positive first Couchsurfing experience staying with Holmstrom family in my home country. Perhaps this is why I loved the idea of hosting and traveling with this community so much. Since then, I had a chance to host more than dozen people with my friend and a few alone. I am always open to some new, unexpected, breathtaking meetings with couch surfers and find out some more about this amazing world we all live in.

Interests

Basically, I'm up for fun times with the right people. I love tech world a lot, and will be glad to participate in any sort of digital conversations, as well as casual gaming. Also love reading books, so would be just as much interested in talking about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Opening up to people around the world, even though it hurts on some rare occasions (usually truly rewarding, though).

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open to teaching English to everyone who is interested. It is my primary education and passion in life. I have been studying esoteric literature and practices for years now and look forward to share my insights with people. I also like to study practical things and acquire skills in various walks of life. My most favorite areas are those connected with success, personal development and self-actualization.

I am very open to learning new things about the world and people. I am an active-passive student of music, but haven't achieved any desired skills yet. I would be glad to learn some guitar, piano and music theory insights from people. I'd love to learn and practice some Chinese. I came to understand that I like cars and driving very much not so long ago, so if you know something about it, I am more than happy to chat. It would be nice to teach/learn how to play some board games too.

To make a long description short, I am always glad to share something with people, learn new things and some advanced techniques of the interests we have in common, and teach whatever can be taught from my life experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always open to sharing my experiences, joy, and positivity. I believe that sharing one's life stories openly and genuinely can be a bridge to a better, brighter, more abundant everyday life.
