About Me

Back in Ukraine, I cannot host now.

CURRENT MISSION

Spread words like feathers in the sky (with Nina Simone voice) ;)

ABOUT ME

As a large majority of the world, not very original here, I like to meet people with whom I can learn things, discover new places, and discuss ideas. All your life is all you touch and see, Pink Floyd rabbit words in the dark side of the moon. All my friends say that my biggest quality is an enormous curiosity for new things and a passion for life.

PHILOSOPHY

"You must travel in directional of your fear", actually I borrowed this one from someone special. Before that, I used to think something similar but more lyrical "Do you know why I do not play ballads anymore, Keith? Because I love them so much!" Miles Davis in 70's talking with Keith Jarret.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far just amazing! I hosted and being hosted, made friends for life and spend great moments. This all a big sharing experience!

I am back in Lisbon and my place is not perfect to host but possible, we do our best!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A couchsurfing place is always a place to feel at home, everywhere in the world.

Interests

Life, different cultures. Wild Nature. Good food, good wine. Art: painting, photography, music (from jazz to classical, only metal I really do not like) and literature mainly poetry. I also write poetry.

I like travel alone, because if fact you are never alone.
