WHERE AM I FROM:
Hello ! My name is Alex and I live in Mariupol city in the South-East of Ukraine. This city is an industrial one with population of 400.000 people and located on the bank of Azov sea. Despite it is one of the most polluted city in Ukraine I love it and enjoy living here. Unfortunatly conflict started in 2014 and now it is only 15 km away from my city to place of battles. But being in my city you will never feel the war is so close. It is safe, peacefull and inetersting, If somebody had told me 5 years ago there will be war in our region I wouldnt beleive to it.

ABOUT MY PERSONALITY
Im open minded, polite and kind person. Always happy to help others. I like to know more about people, about their culture and traditions. I like nature and to watch movies about how everything is well orginised in nature and in Universe. Trying to find my way how to make our world better, to save nature and to make people more kind to each other. I like walking and chatting with intersting people. If to choose between sitting in a cafe or
walking outside I will defenetly prefer walking. Spending good time for me doesnt depend where but it depends with whom. In my memories I keep not places I have been to, but people I have met with. I have my strong beliefs but i respect beliefs of others even if they are different or even opposite from mine.
Im vegetarian and environmentalist but I accept and respect points of view of others.

MY JOB
Now Im working in Charity Fund that helps people who suffered from conflict in the East of Ukraine. Before I used to work as a social worker in Local NGO in the project for preventing HIV infection.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Frankly speaking I didnt like to travel in classical way and didnt go anywhere exept for job reasons. Now im so excited of this possibility to visit local people from other cultures but who can have very similar values and thoughts as me. Or maybe with very opposite beliefs but still with very kind and hospitable attitude. So im planning to travel and hosting traveller.

I would like to travel and meet new people, to know more about different cultures and enrich inner world of each others and exchange our life experience. The real treasure for me is good relationships with good and interesting people. Talking with nice people, walking around beautiful places, discovering new areas, learn useful skills and get new experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

UNDERSTOOD THAT:
You become Happy when you give but not when you take.
Money is just a tool to reach our goals but it is not the goal itself.
Being yourself is better then to pretend.
Change yourself and your life will be changed.
Every problem in our life is just a lesson that can make us better and stronger.
I can totally disagree with your point of view but I will respect your freedom of thinking.
Behave as a good person in any situation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I beleive in God (I used to be a mormon), in Karma (every act has consequencies), in life after death but also in freedom of choice and that we can change our destiny. I beleive that human is not only phisical body but also energy and spirit; feelings and thoughts we produce can change our life and our space, positive thinking brings new possibilites. The only way to be happy is to make somebody happy. Im interested in natural/organic planting and saving environment. Not every problem can be resolved fast but we always can support person in troubles and it can relief them from suffering. Sometimes good words of support cost more than gold.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my good attitude, good mood, respect, my energy ,my thoughts and my feelings. I love people and love to know inner world of intersting persons. Despite all of us look very similar but inside we are all very different. Every person like an intersting book. We just need to learn how to read them :)
If you will be able to spend some time with me and to show cosy and beautifull places in your city it will be wonderfull pleasure for me. If you dont have enough time for it I will respect your time.
Im not good in cooking (due to eating mostly raw food) but if you are not afraid I can prepare some simple dishes :) Maybe massage :)
