I am a world traveller, sailor and artist from Ukraine. Soon after I has begun my study in university I realised that settled way of life is not for me and I always had this longing for the road. I started free traveling when I was 18.

For me traveling is not just vacation or visiting tourist sights, it's more about discovering so different incredible cultures and myself through external world. While traveling I feel harmony and connection with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is amazing way to grasp local culture and lifestyle, meet amazing people around the world and share smiles.I believe in the world and universe, people kindness and that miracles can happen. In my journey I want to learn more about myself and the diversity of life on our planet, I am looking for people with same spirit and free soul

Interests

I'm interested in modern art, philosophy, anthropology, experimental music, project and event management. I play didgeridoo and jew's harp and I love ethic instruments and overtone singing. I tried to surf, it was awesome so now my dreams at night are about living on the ocean coast and surfing. I do hand crafts from natural materials and really passionate about that. I am also a sailor and spent more then 3 months in sea in total hitchhiking sailboats in Atlantic, Caribbean and Pacific
