About Me

Currently I am living in Kyiv, working, cycling, trying to be active

I am vegan, strange vegan, more like plant based diet without any extremisms, open to try tastes of this world..i think i am gastronomical explorer too.
its just hard to explain my diet and reasons . I could speak about it if you interested :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think we all can learn something new from each other through sharing our stories, experience and laughter so CS is great tool to help!
It is amazing opportunity to meet different people from the different countries!

Interests

Too many interests to count and to do. :)
I like varieties of different sports and activities, always open to try something new.
Sometimes it's hard just hard to decide what i want to do because there are lots of interesting around this world.
Now I'm up to cycling. Totally. Completely. Cant imagine myself without it.

Apart of it i like roller skating, hiking-walking-wondering, take pictures, learning spinning poi and staff, drawing. And i'm trying to learn how to play 4-hole flute and jews harp and my new toy tilinka - hungarian (but as well ukrainian) traditional primitive flute without holes

And i love cooking. Yep. Healthy, fresh, home cooking. I am a bit lazy often to cook for myself for few reasons - im keeping big part in my food raw - it's better for health and more sustainable - less energy, water, time required. But i am always really happy to make something for and together with my friends and find out new tastes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music i like very depends on my mood.
It could be funk or balkan at the morning, alternative rock while my workout and ambient closer to midnight.
Ethnic music one of my favs as well as balkan and gypsy style. Of coarse i have ones I love from Ukraine like ONUKA, The Doox or Hungarian Kerekes band, Zoord and soooo on
There's no point just to write a list in all genres :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sometimes, quite ordinary things are amazing for me..

e.g.
cycling at the sunset along UK countryside roads through farms and old houses with beautiful gardens, seeing long shadows in warm rays of sun and fields, green hilly fields with sheep..
or
cycling 3 days to the south of England up to 350 km
UPD about cycling - so far the best is riding bike to Sziget fest form Ukraine to Hungary through the Carpathian mountains and Tokaj!
or
walking alone in the deep mist noticing when the razor of light from the car cutting the unknown unseen space far away in front of me..
or
walking trough the forest in the dead of night to get to the well to dive into cold water
or....
also I have been an EVS volunteer in UK. Gr8 time..

Teach, Learn, Share

I always happy to share anything i know.
I could help with russian or ukrainian and always happy to try to learn any new language .
A bit of juggling or poi

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to listen peoples life stories, opinions and experiences. their dreams and aims. i like to listen .
I think its most valuable thing we, people, can give each other - talk.
