Traveling the world with the bicycle, hitchhiking and long distance hiking.
March 2023 we’ve finished our 7 months trip around Europe and South America and decided to settle for a couple of years in Canada. But we are looking forward our next big trip around Asia:)

We are into the experienced travelers who can share their experiences and learn something from them.

But we are also about to host any traveler who is full of enthusiasm about life, who wants to explore life, to travel, who wants to live and share his enthusiasm about living.

And also we are about to share our way of living - simple, calm, nature oriented, exploring yourself, improving life. All about love, life and living your life to the fullest.

All in all, we are Ukrainian couple, who met in Gdansk, and now we are moving towards our goal to travel around the world and explore the world, people, explore ourselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because couchsurfing is full of people who enjoy life, who are willing to share, to give and to receive. Is full of loving people and meeting each of this person is a great pleasure to share our experiences. Each person is diverse and special. Every interaction leaves a trace in your heart and change you a little. From every person you can learn a lot, expand your worldview and also people give you a little perspective.
