Hi all!
My name is Andrew and I live in Haarlem, Netherlands with my lovely partner Alisa. I am originally from Ukraine, but in 2019, I moved to Malta, and lived there for 3 years, then moved to Barcelona for 1 year and finally ended up here, in the Netherlands.
We both work in the video game development industry, I am a video game designer and Alisa is a technical animator. We both are very passionate about our jobs! Do you want to know more? Ask me when you request to stay.
Alisa and I have a rather active lifestyle, we try not to sit still: we like traveling (although the events in the world have been trying to prevent this), discovering new things, and making new friends. In my free time, I play rugby-15 (you can come to watch me playing), read books, listen to music, cycle, or jog.
We are both an easy-going, open-minded, and thoughtful couple. We are looking forward to hearing your stories and spending time with you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This site is truly a find! Thanks to it, we can meet other strangers whom we most likely would never have met. At the same time, we can exchange life experiences, make new friends, and visit each other further!
