CURRENT MISSION

as ever --
trying to find out
what it is
that we are
supposed to be doing.

ABOUT ME

I was born and grew up in Kiev, moved to Germany at the age of 15, studied in Berlin, Glasgow, Frankfurt, Belgrade, Dublin, lived in Israel for a while. I love moving around, discovering things: significant and not, enjoy poetic actions and types of behaviour as well as keeping myself alive every single moment.
But basically, nothing more than an intermezzo between two eternities.

PHILOSOPHY

Ahava and striving for freedom

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted people for a while now, as I've been moving around a lot frequently changing places, but I hope to get back to this as soon as the spatial setting allows. Together with my former flatmate in Berlin, who used to be very enthusiastic about this project, I co-hosted couchsurfers at our place and had some really great encounters. I believe in sharing resources and being at service for each other in the broadest sense possible.
Mostly, I love places I live in and am usually happy to make them loveable to others.
