One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was younger, more adventurous (and very poor) I did:
- hitch-hike to Nagorno Karabah without permision-paper
- ropejump from the 250-metres cliff
- #IceBucketChallenge near Tour Eiffel
- hitch-hike in Morocco, alone
- ski in Sahara
- enter Disneyland for free
- stopped a car which happened to have my couchsurfing host in Czech Republic
- scuba dive in Oludeniz, Turkey
- swim with Whale Sharks in Oslob, Philippines
- celebrate New Year in rubber plantations, Kalimantan island
- track to Rinjani volcano in wet season
- see sunrise on Bromo volcano
- volunteer with workaway in Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand - 10 times
- taught English in Vietnam for 2 years

Teach, Learn, Share

The most interesting thing to teach is probably cooking, Ukrainian dishes especially(plus maybe some other countries like Georgian Khachapuri). Some basic Ukrainian too!

I can share millions of stories about hitch-hiking in 50+ countries, about traditions and customs in different places, about differences in life in my country.
I am open to everything, so I'm interested to learn new things but also to share my experiences too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have a spare room in a relatively central flat. Can cook food, provide advice for the area and Ukraine in general.
