Hi everyone! I'm barista in specialty coffee bar. And I’m a horse rider. Horses are my love and coffee is my passion. Except that I have a lot of other interest for wich I normally just haven’t time (I think even ten lifes wouldn’t be enough)..

I love good coffee, specialty coffee bars, people who work there – coffee culture. So in each city where I go I always look for some specialty coffee bars. I like that this subject - coffee - is creative complicate multifaceted. So I never tired from progress in it and highlighting it for other people.

When people ask me which other interests except horses and coffee do I have I always want to answer that the best is just meet new people-get know them-get know something new from them. Especially from different countries it’s such amazing experience. It’s like mosaic. The more pieces you get the more full picture you can see. Picture of this world. Picture of human being.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My answer is very simple: because I love to get knew people! Seriously what else it could be 😄 I think Couchserfing it’s the only way really to get know local people, to get know how they live, discover another lifestyle and another view on live. It’s simply a pleasure and it’s also something what build ourselves.

The only one thing which is scare me in getting know new people... it’s that I will discover some more things which I would love to do.... :D

Bring joy and happiness, desire to live to one horse.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach and share everything what I get know. Several days it’s of course not enough really to learn something but still I love to tell people about horses and our “horse world” with numerous funny story about it. I would love to share my travel experience (maybe I don’t have a lot experience but it’s still quite eventful 😅). I can tell you a lot about coffee itself, coffee bars, how to make tasty coffee at home and coffee culture in general. If you want to visit Ukraine one day I can share with you best places to visit (especially in Kyiv)! A lot of other small things could come up during conversations.
And I can show you where is in YOUR city best coffee! ;)
