The new CS has taken me aback. Maybe I need time to digest the changes. At present I feel that it is not only the layout that has changed, but also the spirit... Therefore, I am taking a break and will not host in the next future. Maybe I'll drop out completely.

Studied classical subjects in high school and then winemaking Now managing a winery I am into history, music and philosophy

Sorry but I can’t host but open for meting. Hello 👋🏻. My name is Ihor Drobot, and I’m Ukrainian.🇺🇦 I am a person who loves my country and national traditions. I also love traveling and discovering new things. The spiritual aspect is important to me both in life and in work. Having gone through many life lessons, I have come to clearly understand that everything that happens is a result of actions you’ve taken in the past — "you reap what you sow." Couchsurfing came into my life in 2023 when, after living in New York for three months, I realized that I couldn’t stay there and needed to explore the country and find my city. It so happened that I spent the next nine months on the road and visited all 50 U.S. states. This platform helped me meet wonderful people and learn so much more about life. I am very happy to be part of this great community. Let me briefly tell you about myself :)🕯️🎙️ I grew up in a small town in Ukraine, where only Ukrainian was spoken, and there were no foreigners or other cultures. To me, anyone speaking a different language seemed like something out of a fairy tale because I had never seen them. I rarely traveled to bigger cities until I enrolled in my first university. I was raised by my grandparents on a farm where we grew all our food, so I didn’t even need to go to the store to buy anything. Everything was homegrown and organic. I walked 3 kilometers to school and didn’t have pocket money, so I started working when I was about 9 or 10 years old, with my first entrepreneurial experience at 12. However, I loved reading and would always ask my family for encyclopedias or interesting new books to learn more about the world. This helped me get into programming at a university in a larger city, and that’s when my adult life began. I was on my own, living in a city with so many different people. As an introvert, I didn’t talk much to anyone at first, but during my first two years, everything changed, and I became the life of every group I joined, making friends everywhere I went. I started organizing parties, launching small businesses with no budget, working as a photographer and model, and learning how to live on my own. It was an exciting period, especially when I started dating models and became popular enough to appear on TV in various shows. That’s when I also started traveling more, earning money, and living independently. After returning from a trip to Dubai, I met the owner of one of the largest companies in the country, and he offered me a job, which marked the start of my career growth in Ukraine's capital, Kyiv. I spent four years there, working for some of the wealthiest people in the country, studying at the same time, and running different businesses of my own. I managed to get three higher education degrees and gain excellent international experience in branding and marketing. At the start of the war in my country, I was living in a medium-sized city, and I was 27 years old. I was one of the directors of a large factory, successfully ran my marketing business focused on the U.S., bought a great BMW, and lived in my own house. However, life sometimes makes adjustments, and now I am building my life anew, with new people, and moving forward toward a better version of myself. Today, I live life without alcohol, live by spiritual values, love people and nature, and run my own agency, taking on projects that bring value to both people and the environment. That’s a very brief overview of me. I love meeting new people and am always open to conversation. If you can host me or are planning to visit, I’m always happy to connect. Thanks for reading, and I wish you a wonderful day!❤️🪽

I'm Johnkingsley/Bright. I love to inhale confidence and exhale doubt, its makes me to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times, traveling makes me modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world,
