Hi. I´m from Ukraine, just moved to Chicago. Last 6 years I’ve lived in Mexico. I give clases about history of art, political history and I´m curating an artistic projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a very exciting experience. For the first time I`ve hosted in 2010 and since then stayed in different places in Europe, the US, Mexico and Guatemala. I was and am astonished of the idea and all these people who kindly accepted to host me or showed me their cities.
