Hello, I'm easy-going Ukrainian guy with a great passion for cinema and travelling. Travel, in addition to your personal insights, helps in practice to touch other cultures, and by cultures I understand values and priorities that are different from yours. Usually it creates more new questions than answers and it's beautiful. When I travel it's mostly hitchhiking since it's a great chance for you to break "the rules", meet a lot of people and additionally save money.

One of the greatest pleasures are interesting discussions with vital open people, listening to their stories and sharing ideas. + I have nothing against respectable and civilized argument. Dear guests, if you don't agree with me on something -- don't be afraid to say it! Every opinion matters :)

I'm interested in literature, culture, philosophy, politics, economics, history etc.

When it comes to food I'm not very choosy and love cooking a lot. Cooking together is even better

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the best way you can express your feeling of solidarity with other travellers and help them. From their side they can help you. What can be more right than this?
