Hi, my name is Vlad Ivanov, and I come from a small village near Kyiv, Ukraine. I’m 28 years old and currently living in Germany. My journey has taken me from being a law student to exploring entrepreneurship, aerial photography, and marketing. Life has thrown me some challenges, especially during the war in Ukraine, but it also taught me to adapt and grow.

I’m curious, open-minded, and passionate about meeting people from different cultures. Whether it’s sharing a meal, exchanging stories, or exploring a city together, I love connecting with others and learning something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to explore a new place is by meeting locals and immersing myself in their way of life. Couchsurfing is not just about finding a place to stay but about creating connections and meaningful experiences.

I’m also happy to host or help travelers discover the area where I live, especially sharing stories about Ukraine and its rich culture.
