Hey!
I am a student studying classical music in Philadelphia, US, but I was born in Ukraine! I play the oboe, piano and used to play guitar in metal band, and some base in a pop-rock. I can teach piano so you could play at least 3 songs under 30 minutes and the best Ukrainian curses under 1 hour (there is a lot of those). I love exploring new cultures, making new friends and simply have fun. Very easy going and if you would suggest to go somewhere in the middle of the night I am your man. Can tell you stories, talk about philosophy or crack some stupid-ass jokes, drink alcohol and whatever there is

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is my first trip by myself somewhere else where I don't have any friends/family. I heard that Couchsurfing is the best way to meet new people and explore new cultures. I have always wanted to travel the world, and finally I started!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lol it's pathetic that I can't answer this haha

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach piano professionally to kids like 6-10 years old and people like 30-50. As I said, give me 30 minutes and you're going to beat Justin Bieber in a piano duel. I still learn English, trying to fiddle around with different accents, but in the last year have become pretty fluent. I want to learn Spanish, because in my view it's one of the hottest languages ever, and then German because it's funny to speak it when you're angry.
