I grew up in Ukraine, and now I live in Berlin and work as a software engineer. Before that, I lived in the UK for 2.5 years and used to help biologists in getting their Nobel prizes (unfortunately, didn't get one myself :).

I am curious by nature, and there is no shortage of things that I would like to learn about. l love trying new experiences, challenging myself out of my comfort zone, and I don't mind going wrong sometimes because that's the way one learns what is right for him. I am generally an optimistic and reasonable person.

My main aspiration is to enjoy life in the now, to be contented and at peace with myself at any (reasonably selected) moment.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I like meeting great people here, it always pays back

Intereses

Generally, I like exploring how things work, and this extends to almost any area, be it sofware or societies or human beings, so I enjoy reading/watching about all sorts of things.

I love nature and thus outdoor activities, sports, hiking, swimming, cycling.

I study German in my free time and I'm already quite decent. I aim to get B2 somewhere in 2022.

I'm good at chess, and I love board games overall.

Música, películas y libros

Among the more popular directors, I like the works of Scorcese, Tarantino, Fincher, Nolan. I also like Lars von Trier, Terrence Mallick, Andrei Tarkovsky, David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick. Generally, I prefer movies to TV series.

I used to be a music geek and went deep into multiple genres, bands, and artists, but now I am more relaxed about it. I enjoy grunge, electronics, dream- and synth-pop, hip hop among everything else.
