I am from Ukraine, was born in Kramatorsk (East Part), but now studying cinema directing course at Kyiv University of Karpenko Karyy.
Traveling by Hitchhiking and living by Couchsurfing makes me feel freedom. Want to see our planet more and deeper, hope we have the same gains.

More about me.

I love the life. After all the horror I went through: the war in my city, the death of my father, the split of my family - I love the life. Why? Because I accepted these factors, they shaped me, made me. The war gave me the opportunity to understand who I am, gave me the opportunity to love the country, its traditions. Death formed in me strength of character and courage. All of it also introduced me to social activities and art. It introduced me to a group of people who could change the country, change the world. I'm a liberal, a nationalist and a globalist (it's hard to explain, we can talk about it).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the world deeper, see the lifestyle of the people, not to stay in comfortable hotels but with comfortable people. I think explore people much more valuable in the trips. And I also want to show people my hometown, region and our traditions.
