Hi. My name is Artem and I was born in Khmelnitsky. It's a region centre in a middle of Ukraine. But this city is really boring, so a few time ago I went to Lviv and try to stay here, because I really like this city.
Maybe it will a little bit stupid, if I write that I like traveling or hitchhiking cause ... why else I would come here, yes?)
But I thing, that different trips and travels not only a rest or new experience and impressions. I am sure this is a way to find for a new and fresh view on world and knowledges about peace structure and how builds some communications between people and humanity generally. It inspire me and, fortunately (or maybe unfortunately), I have some background to understanding this abstract things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Okey, we founds, that we like trips, travels, hitchhiking and many such things, which close to it. We can give each other so many things, that maybe we don't even imagine! We live under one sky in one planet, but usually know not much about Earth and world. At least, it concerns me exactly. ) But we have this cool web-site. It is really helpful. we have wish, and majority of us have open mind for this. It's beautiful!
Besides common trips to cities I really want to go through some outskirts of cities and welknown places and look simple nature, or mountain, or valley and similar things. Maybe, make hike to forest at another country on a few nights. It would be so fantastic and amazing, that my mind doesn't imagine it now!
If you inquisitive, I may share something with you, because what concerns me, I have one particular dream, except common trips. It's not my main goal in life, but if there was an opportunity, I would not mind to go from home over around the world and never come back....

Music, Movies, and Books

In childhood I thought I like Jn. Tolkien , but in time I decided he a little bit boring and now I more like Clive Lewis and his " Chronicles of Narnia". It's case concerns even movies! (Yes, you may say that I idiot, cause movies for Narnia objectively weaker than Lord of the rings)
Also I like fantasy, historical (feature and documentary) and horror films. And very like Tim Burton!

What concerns books, about Tolkien and Lewis I wrote early. Besides he I also like Philipp Vandenberg - he is a germany writer, who write beautiful historical novels. If you like explore and discovering something about folk and culture of Renaissance Europe, he worth your attention.

In music I like folk-rock and rock music. Especially I like old school hard-rock. My favorite music bands are Blackmore's Night , Deep Purple and Rainbow.
Besides this I really big fan of lirycs by Rise Against.
