Hello!

I'm Alex, I'm 26 and I love exploring this world. Born and raised in Ukraine 🇺🇦, I'm quite international these days, as I've lived in 5 other countries since 2015 (Bulgaria, Portugal, Belgium, Malta, Slovakia). Currently living in Slovakia with my mom and 4 pets since we ran away from war back in March.

Besides the 6 countries where I've lived, I've also visited 20 more (Austria, Cyprus, Czechia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Vatican) ✌🏻

I work remotely as a self-employed UX/UI designer and try to always find time to work during my trips as well so that traveling is integrated into my normal life rather than becoming a separate time- and money-consuming activity.

I like to observe how the cities live and meet the locals. For every place I go, I try to find some cool unique stuff to do/visit besides checking out all the most popular sightseeing spots.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

Looking back at my past trips, I realize that the most fun ones were the ones where I met local people and hung out with them, so I decided to try to go that path again :)

Интересы

I love traveling (naturally, otherwise I wouldn't be here) and I'm passionate about design&innovation (otherwise I wouldn't work as a designer, haha).

I am also interested in psychology. I play guitar a little, roller-skate a little, and drive a little.
I support the LGBTQ+ community and I am probably generally one of the most open-minded people you'll ever meet. I am friendly and neat, and I love pets. 🐶 I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, I travel without them though.

Музыка, кино и книги

I lost track of all the *favorite* ones quite some years ago.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I can play guitar a lil if I have the chords in front of me.
I cook a pretty awesome pizza if there's time and an oven :)

I used to mentor designers and other freelancers on career development topics, so I can also share that piece of knowledge if there's interest.
