Hello. Let me tell you a little about myself. Before the pandemic, I traveled a lot by hitchhiking and spent every student summer backpacking. Then I started working at a bank in Ukraine. No, I am not a boring cashier or branch employee (as it turned out later, not all employees there are boring). My job is a creative space, coworking, and meeting rooms for clients. It's a fun location with interesting people. I've reactivated my account because I might find myself outside the country and need a place to stay, and maybe some of you will need a place to stay in Kyiv.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an opportunity to get to know the local culture and people better. It's also a chance to introduce someone to my culture and lifestyle.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love YouTube Music for its playlists. I can start my commute listening to Ukrainian folk and end it with Berlin techno or Norwegian rock.

My favorite movie is "Seven Samurai" directed by Akira Kurosawa. Yes, this movie is older than 90% of internet users, but it laid the foundation for the concept of the Western genre.

I read fewer books now, but my top authors are Irvine Welsh, Ayn Rand, and Jack London.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At 19, I learned to fly a plane (ultralight) and made my first solo flight right on my birthday.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to use artificial intelligence, write quality queries, and work with this tool. I'm also ready to share theories on flying, aerodynamics, and photography. In general, any knowledge I have is available.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to cook national Ukrainian dishes, but not the stereotypical ones like varenyky, borscht, or halushky. I can help with cleaning or fix things around the house. I don't like washing dishes, but I'm willing to share that burden.

Countries I’ve Visited

Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Turkey
