ABOUT ME

Individualist. Open-minded but somewhat choosy. Happy to meet new interesting people!

I like intellectual discussions, long walks in the forest, European/Mediterranean cuisine and dry wine, black metal concerts, and having a chance to change the world a little bit.

PHILOSOPHY

I think I am a rather rational person. Don't believe in any kind of mysticism, neither gods nor destiny. Like etology and evolutionary biology instead. Also I am an individualist and libertarian and I think it is best to listen to yourself and to be happy for yourself, not try to live up to the society's expectations.

I like the changes which are happening in Ukraine after Maidan and the freedom spirit we have since then. I admire people who care about more than their own ass, who are fighting with the system, are not afraid to take the responsibility and who improve the place we live in in an amazing way. Proud to participate in that kind of things.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To have fun with cool people. To travel and spend nice time with surfers in Kyiv.

I was staying with a couple of really great hosts in Paris and Strasbourg in October 2012. Later I met and showed around some nice people via CS and hosted some surfers here in Kyiv.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Research for my MA thesis in Germany, great culture of science and knowledge!

A first date in the Carpathians, when we went on a romantic hiking tour to the Ukraine's highest mountain, Hoverla, without having ever met in real life before!
