Hey! I’m from Lviv, Ukraine. I work in IT as a frontend engineer, but I’m definitely not just a “screens-and-code” person. I love movement, new experiences, interesting conversations, and discovering how people live and think in different parts of the world.

I’m into philosophy, the idea of reality as a simulation, and those late-night talks where you suddenly go deeper than expected - but always in a fun, natural way.

💫 What I’m Into
• Dancing salsa rueda (and sometimes leading the circle as a cantor - always with good energy and some playful vibes).
• Snowboarding, traveling, motorbikes, and spontaneous trips to the mountains.
• Learning new things, exploring people’s stories, and connecting through shared experiences.
• And yes, I do have a cat… and yes, he’s basically a small roommate with opinions.

😊 What I’m Like

Easygoing, open-minded, and respectful of personal space. I enjoy meeting different kinds of people — from artists to tech folks to travelers — and I genuinely like listening to real stories. I value warmth, sincerity, and kindness in interactions.

I’m curious, active, and usually the person who brings a good mood into the room without trying too hard.

🤝 What I Bring
Friendly, relaxed energy
Interesting stories from Ukraine, IT, travel, dance, and random life twists
A good sense of humor
A willingness to help and make the moment nicer for everyone

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a spontaneous trip to the Carpathians with my salsa group, ended up leading a rueda circle on a mountain top, and somehow turned a cold evening into one of those warm, unforgettable moments you don’t plan — they just happen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach salsa (on 1, on 2) meditation and make tea ceremony, learn zen-buddhism
