Hello, my name is Andrew. I was born in Slavutich city, Ukraine. My town was built after Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded for internally displaced persons. Today people from ghost-towns Pripyat and Chornobyl live in Slavutich and still work to do CNPP safety. Now i`m living in Kyiv - capital of Ukraine, with my girlfriend and cat. I'm still looking for a best job of my life, but if you want i can tell you about my work experience in Art&literature Archive, in government program "Diia" etc.

I absolutely like hiking, travel and wild nature. In summer season I often go to mountains with my backpack, tent and sleeping bag and enjoy fresh air and altitude. When i have only 2 or 3 days weekend i try explore something new places, city's near Kiyv. My favorite style of travel this hitchhiking, because this bring me absolutely freedom. I can choice driver with who i go, i can choice every possible time and way where. Of course, i like talk with locals, who am I going with and who understand local mentality better. Bear Grylls is my hero:))

My hobby is amateur astronomy (stars, planets, deep space watching through telescope etc.), photography (my old-school Sony Alpha a-230), professional archaeology and anthropology, good films and books.

Sum 41, Rise Against, Seether, Cranberries, The Lumineers. Also i like folk and indie rock, visit Sofar Sounds events.

I study for master degree of Archives Science in Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Also when i arrive in new country i try to find some host in CS, because this right way to open new culture, traditions and just for search new good friends. :)
