Overview
About Me
Dear men, I’m not interested in meeting you and I don’t host men if that isn’t clear enough from my home description. Thank you.
___________________________________
Just one Ukrainian living in Germany. Former journalist, currently a medical student working in healthcare. My main passion is and always has been the world in all its diversity; my main goal is to understand it as deeply as possible and to build the most complete and accurate image of it in my mind.
I love nature and art. In my opinion, these two are the foundation of beauty in its broadest sense. There is hardly anything as sincere and free in this world as nature; when I meet people who even slightly resemble those qualities, I fall in love with them. And there is hardly anything that better reflects the most beautiful and noble aspirations of the human heart than art - mostly classical, but some contemporary works as well. I also find the natural sciences profoundly beautiful, simply because they show the world as it truly is. The world is very beautiful.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It’s hardly possible to understand the world or any country if you don’t understand its people, how they think and why they live the way they do. This includes not only everyday life or living conditions, but their whole attitude toward life itself. I love intelligent people and those with a strong sense of culture, people who are curious and open to new things. Their concentration here is higher than anywhere else.
