IMPORTANT: Please note that I don’t reply to one-word messages like a single “Hello”. CS is all about communication and sharing travel stories and experiences. My house is not a free hostel. Please keep that in mind when sending your request. All my life is based on curiosity. I have no idea what will happen. I don't know whom I'll meet or what I'll see. I have absolutely no idea what will influence my life and what kind of experience I'll get. The Unknown excites me. And the greatest Unknown in the world is a human being. Meeting new people gives an opportunity to take a look at the world through someone else's point of view and it helps to better understand both the person you're talking to and yourself. And, of course, it’s fun!

What I Can Share With Hosts
My house is my castle, they say. I appreciate people inviting me to their home and understand how it is “on the other side” since I also host surfers in Kyiv. Because of that, I’m trying to be flexible and attentive, and make sure my host gets the most positive vibe from me. I’m totally okay doing my own thing most of the time, but really appreciate the communication and hanging out with my hosts cause, in the end, that’s what it’s all about.
