Hi there! My name is Andrew, and I'm from Ukraine. I love to travel, and that's how I usually spend my spare time. So far, I've been to over 30 different countries all around the world! One of the most exciting trips I've taken was hitchhiking from Ukraine to Portugal. I travelled almost 10,000 kilometres! When I came back to Ukraine, I decided to go to Georgia the same way. That trip was another 10,000 kilometres and lasted a month. I had a lot of fun exploring new cultures and having adventures. When I'm not travelling, I like to paint, design interiors, and improve myself in any way I can. I'm also a big fan of French culture, especially the language and architecture.

In addition to my travels to various countries, I also had the opportunity to live and work in the United States for a couple of months while studying at university. It was an incredible experience to immerse myself in American culture and to see how different it was from my own. During my time there, I made some great friends and had some unforgettable experiences. I also got to visit some amazing places like New York City, California and the Grand Canyon. All in all, it was a fantastic adventure and one that I will always cherish.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had an exhilarating experience trying skydiving for the very first time. It was an unforgettable adventure that filled me with a sense of pure freedom and excitement. In addition, during my visit to Las Vegas, I embarked on a thrilling journey by braving three of the most intense and daring attractions atop the Stratosphere Tower. It was a heart-pounding experience that pushed my limits and left me with an indelible memory of the sheer thrill and adrenaline rush.
