I'm currently travelling, so I can't accept people in my home. Still, I hope when I'm back, some nice adventurer will knock at my door :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes I want to live in a different epoch, where men of letters or fluty minstrels embodied idealistic creatures, which had the power to spellbound and magnetize. I always search for something grotesque and surreal, transcending the ruins of this time-worn realm... I adore to travel since every journey is a new osmosis of this mysterious planet. Perhaps, this poetry will say something about me.

"My Threshold"
I saw the face among the branches of shady leafless trees,
I saw the Time, so far from Heaven, down in dreamhouse's lee…
I was inside an old brick bower, gazing out of windows…
I was a child of rainy hours, and Autumn was the widow…
But when I looked into the mirror, I knew it was a lake,
And when I drowned, the world seemed sheerer since verity was slaked...
I contemplated prick-eared foxes, each chose a different trod...
Doors opened, but nobody locked them. I'm home. There's nothing odd.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I dream to unravel secrets of each unique country and meet inspiring people. I'm also eager to acquaint people with Ukraine in order to dispel an illusion that its history is artificial and poor. It would be also amazing to get in touch with those who adore classic literature, creative and intellectual music, as well as art in all its majestic and awkward manifestations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Opened a book when I was a child... and immersed into this realm of literature forever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Ukrainian, and I'm also eager to learn any foreign language, at least some phrases. I can share my knowledge about world literature and music, as well as sing for you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give you cute presents from my country, sing different songs (but I mostly improvise), unravel secrets of fiction, and share an adventure with you ;) I can help you in anything you'll ask if it's something not so complicated and scary ;)
