Hi! I'm Arsen. I was born in Ukraine but have lived in the US (PA) most of my life (since I was 5). Recently I've semi-permanently relocated to Kyiv and I'm traveling and working.

Travel:
- I'm currently traveling through Southern/Eastern Africa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Get to know people from around the world! Share experiences, whether experiences form the past or form new experiences together.

Interests

Camping, riding my bike, making music videos, watching the New York Giants lose, illegally streaming Ukrainian National team games, listening to podcasts (JRE, Tangentially Speaking, Bodega Boys)

I'm up for pretty much anything. From going out partying, to sailing, to doing a language exchange, to playing video games, to reading poetry by a fire. Anything :)!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bicycle from Philadelphia to Virginia Beach with my buddy!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn anything and everything. As far as what I can share. I'm afraid it's only my experiences and critiques. I'm sure there's some value though :) Also I'm okay with taking videos and editing.

What I Can Share with Hosts
