About Me

Like most people here, I'm fond of traveling. That's true, but not so interesting. I grew up in Lviv, and now live in Kyiv, so I know a lot about two of the best cities in Ukraine :)

When traveling, I like not only to go sightseeing in cities or regions, but also like to get acquainted with their inhabitants. I think that without personal contact with residents, it's difficult (or even impossible) to form an opinion about the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best thing in traveling - people. Locals can change your mind about every single city, that's true. And that's why I am here - to show my city, or to be hosted somewhere in other countries.

Interests

Almost 7 years I played handball for local team in Lviv. Right now - I write a lot about Ukrainian and European handball as a journalist.

Also I am fond of traveling: for the last couple of years I visited 10 or more countries. In the nearest future I believe that this number will increase to 50 or even 100 countries on different continents.
