ABOUT ME

I am 28 and I worked as a builder, waiter,journalist, social activist, head of the city brunch political party, consultant in the government of Ukraine, entrepreneur. Had a network of hostels in Cyprus. Currently I am soldier on rehabilitation.

I am addicted to traveling. Love sharing culture and personal stories, if you want to share your experience, skills or thing of which you are proud of or just something strange that happened to you I will happy to listen to you.

FOR HOSTS AND GUESTS

I am VEGETARIAN AND LACTOSE INTOLERANT.

Well, it’s not that I am putting into your face as “you know guys, I am vegetarian and you all are bastards”
It’s happened to me!
from 2012 I decided to stop eating meat products, because of stomach issues. Few years ago I discovered lactose intolerance. It’s mean that my stomach can’t melt milk products: milk, butter, soft cheese, with hard cheese it’s mostly ok.
I am writing this because often hosts and guests want to make me happy with some dishes what they prepared or invite to cafe and order something and I just want to avoid this uncomfortable situation when you propose me a food and I cannot eat it. Don’t stress yourself of cooking something or if you still into it, please keep those facts about my vegetarian and lactose intolerant body.
I cannot change it.
Thank you;)

FOR GUESTS
The copy paste requests are ok, as long as you have something to read in your profile.
I am not fun of key words, but just to understand if you read my profile or not you can write sign "Kyiv not Kiev" but it’s not necessary and if you are on a hurry you can send your template request and I will read your profile.

You don’t need to spend 24/7 with us you can be on your own, but sometimes we like to communicate. Mostly, we are working from home, so, try to go out during weekdays and explore Ukraine.

We don’t eat meat and don’t like the smell of meat, so I will ask you not to bring it in my place. Ukraine full of cheap and not cheap places where you can have a meat food.

I have a dog, she is super friendly and can leak you to death. Please, don’t feed her, because she will become crazy to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people, I like to stay with locals and like to help other travelers to explore our world.
I am here to meet new people and want to know them as much as possible. I am doing interviews sometimes with interesting people. If you would like to do it -tell me! I can do interview for you.
also we can have a private talk by coffee, tea, beer, joint or whatever you like.
I respect human private space. So, if you will need you can be on your own and do whatever you like as much it’s not bothering people around.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all kinds of music. I can listen to everything except any russian music.
Saw and rated more than 4000 movies. You can tell me what you like and I can advise something special for you.
Or just can send to you my list of movies with high rates ;)

I like reading, cannot say what I liked most. It’s always changing and the books that I liked a few years ago now look not interesting for me.
For example, in the age of 15-18, I liked “1984” by Orwell and other different anti-utopia stuff
From 18-21 I loved Carlos Castaneda's books.
For now, I like more non-fiction about psychology, business, sexuality “Taoist secrets of love” it’s a must-read, it could be boring and difficult to read, but it’s worth it and can change your life.
“Many streams of incomes” Robert Alen the book that should be instead of the bible in the capitalist period of the human story.
From fiction, the last one that I liked was “Shantaram” by Roberts Gregori David.

I will happy if you share some of your favorite books.
