About Me

I am passionate traveler, looking mostly for people and adventures than for new places themselves. I deeply believe that city is combination of love and culture of its' citizens and I can't imagine trip to new place without meeting local people there.
Currently I am in search for opportunities and cultural expansion. As soon as I will finish my Master degree I will do my best to see the World, to live in multiple countries and keep in touch with people of all beliefs, religions and colours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have never tried couchsurfing before on my own, but I did airbnb for couple of times and I found experience of staying in the local family amazing, warm and pleasant, just as home. Always home. Also I heard many nice reviews from friends. Will probably try it next time, perhaps for my small trip in Ukraine. As a host would like to be useful, but unfortunately now don't have opportunity to do it.

Interests

In fact I rarely can afford pure travel, so I often combine it with my academic studies/career while visiting conferences, so people who are ready to share their views on future of current educational system most welcome:D
But to be honest I am happy to meet people of all professions and interests, if you have passion which drive your actions, we will surely find mutual topics

Music, Movies, and Books

I am listening BBC1 and I barely care what exactly they play, I just love British accent :D
Movies : historical or science fiction, from last what touched me: Sherlock and Da Vinci Demons series (oops, again British accent)
Books: Shantaram (probably cause I read it just after long-term stay in India),

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to India on my own for 6 months.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whatever we will find interest to talk about.
Travelling, education and fashion design is what I directly involved in.
However, we might end up talking about economics, politics, social or ethical issues, culture diversity, local food, local people.
I don't have strict beliefs towards right or wrong, we may discuss any topic and it always will stay just in friendly tone.
