CURRENT MISSION

To educate myself in multicultural and diverse environments, and meet amazing people.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I am Ukrainian and Russian, I live in Chicago and love to travel. I've visited Paris, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, and several states in the US. I like to travel by myself or with my best friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a strong need to be fair and seek that in others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can fully apply myself to show surfers a good time around Chicago, and I try to follow Chicago couchsurfing events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed with some nice folks in Indianapolis, and had a much more fruitful experience in Indy if i didn't stay with them.

Interests

My interests include dancing (flamenco, tango, samba, salsa, and hip-hop). I play some violin and trumpet, also like to paint in oils, ink and acrylics. In the winter I like to go skiing, in the summer rock climbing, roller skating, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some of the most exhilarating experiences in my life include walking in New York Fashion Week, seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time, watching buffalos stampede through South Dakota, being present at the Argentina-Bosnia game in the World cup at Maracana in Rio.

Teach, Learn, Share
