Hey there! 👋
I'm Nick (Mykyta if you want to be fancy about it), a Ukrainian guy who somehow ended up studying massage therapy in south of Ireland and loving every minute of it.

Here's the thing about me - I'm basically a walking contradiction. By day, I'm this semi-serious student exploring and practicing massage therapy and fitness, getting fascinated by how our bodies and brains work, and probably reading too much about psychology and neuroscience. But then you'll find me bachata dancing until midnight or planning my next big trip or hiking adventure.

I'm currently on a mission to learn Spanish, partly because I'm lowkey obsessed with Spanish and Latin culture and partly because it makes me a better dancer (jk). If you speak Spanish and don't mind my terrible pronunciation, we're going to get along great.

My interests are all over the place - I love everything from nature photography to NASCAR and monster trucks (yes, really), from deep conversations about geopolitics to binge-watching whatever series everyone's talking about. I'm a guy who will genuinely get excited whether you want to tell me about your adventures or take me to see some underground art exhibition or botanical garden.

What I'm really looking for is authentic connection. I want to hear your stories, learn about your culture through your eyes, and maybe teach you some bachata moves if you're up for it. I'm studying massage therapy too, so if you're stressed from all the traveling and want a practice session, I'm always happy to help out.

I adapt to whatever energy you bring - whether that's philosophical discussions or spontaneous nature getaway, I'm here for it!

Can't wait to swap stories and create some new ones together!
