Hi! I'm a journalist from Odesa, Ukraine. I'm interested in learning new languages and people who speak them. I have a stone pet named "Peter".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Together with my colleague, we're going on a hitch-hiking trip around Europe and this story we're going to tell our readers. So, don't miss the opportunity to be a part of it! We're looking for some place to spend the night and some people to spend the time with. We're eager to listen to the stories about your city. By the way, these stories, as well as photos (if you want of course), will be in our project. Web journal we're writing for has both Ukrainian and English editions. We'll be very happy to provide you with an interesting company and we promise not to bring you any troubles. Gifts from Odesa are already in our backpacks. We can sleep on the floor and don't bother anybody, or we can share with you some vine and good stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
I'm a big music-lover, so I have many favorite performers. From academic music(Chopin, Gershwin, Bach, etc.), jazz(Duke Ellington, Bill Evans, Ella Fitzgerald) to hardcore stuff like Slipknot or something like this

Books
My top 5 of Authors: Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Moem, Remark, Orwell

Also, I like running in the mornings when it doesn't cross over with my other favorite morning activity - sleeping.
