A 36 year old Australian. I was born in Ukraine but have grown up in Melbourne, Australia.

I have a keen desire to continue exploring this world, meeting their locals and building a network with like-minded people. I’m an adventurous traveller who enjoys the hustle and bustle of cities but also loves being active outdoors and embracing the natural beauty each country has to offer. I love food and will try almost anything.

I’m a qualified builder and work as a project manager. I have a keen interest architecture and design. My other hobbies include woodworking, drawing, cycling and keeping active.

I will be in South America between March and June.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve backpacked throughout the world for many years having stayed in hostels in the past, meeting other international travellers and doing the more mundane touristy things. I've only recently reactivated my Couchsurfing account as with age, my priorities and mindset has changed. I’m interested in a different type of travelling adventure and would love to hang out, chat and experience your city and culture through the lense of a local.

I also keen to provide a great experience for those who ever make it to Melbourne.
