I am a Ukrainian artist and journalist, keen on documentary. I take pictures, DJ, write short stories and create art projects. You can find me on Instagram: saf.homin 🌞
I’m in Columbia for a two-year grad program and will major in photojournalism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friends with people from all over the world and possibly collaborate! I’ve had awesome experience doing art with friends I met on CS, and I really enjoy the platform as a way to share experiences and local culture.

Interests

I enjoy both partying and spending time reading. My main interest is photography, so you can often find me outdoors experimenting with taking pictures. All art mediums are in the spotlight of my interest. I’m keen on exploring history and public affairs around the globe, catching interconnections and thinking about the future of humanity.
