Hello, my name is Alex. I`m a traveler from Ukraine, also a cultural studies student, eco-activist, manager of a touristic organization, coffeeholic, party lover, and just a funny guy;). I like to read poems and philosophical books, watching good movies and theatre. I also spend a lot of time in Art galleries and visiting different parties. I like to travel cause I feel it makes me different. I like to meet new people, explore a different places, be in nature, have a nice memories that I would never forget, and just feel my self in the right place with a can of beer. I also like riding a bike, and I always try to find everywhere one to discover a new city with it. I dream one day become a big painter, but I only begin watching videos on YouTube:). I have been volunteering a lot of times in festivals, orphan houses, making University’s events, working on a recycling factory, and even my touristic organization is non-commercial. I am communicative, positive, funny, creative, responsible, easy-going, enthusiastic, adventuristic, spontaneous, and romantic guy;).
I don`t have a lot of references in Couchsurfing, cause I traveled with my girlfriend profile before.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, I had lost in winter mountains with the worst weather in a year(-25c, fog, avalanche period, and a strong windstorm) without any equipment. And survive when everyone thought that I wouldn’t. I made a fire on a top of one meter of snow, and sow wolf's around of me. It was my mistake that I lost, but anyway, that something amazing that I survive healthy. I can tell you a lot of different stories like this, I have them enough to write a book:)
