Hello, friends)
I'm Mykola (it's same as Nicolas or Nick).
I study creative writing in Kyiv and I do love literature (yeah, It's obvious).
So, I'm a kinda boring person, If you don't like it).
Also, You can be bored because of my music. I play guitar and any other instruments with strings (bet you won't prove it).
When I have a lot of free time I'm hitchhiking. It is my own way to open new places on Earth and new aspects of my character. Usually, I do it alone, but I won't refuse If somebody wants to join my loneliness.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I love to meet a new people and sharing my knowledge with them.
I don't like traditional kinds of traveling (city tours with boring guide, staying in hotel 24/7) because it won't give me one important thing - the view of locals. I hope, I can find it here.
Also, I love the city, where I'm living now, and the city where I was born.
So, I can show you my hometown, Zhytomyr, and Kyiv, the city of my University.
Ukrainian hospitality and good food are inclusive)
