Hi everyone! I'm an open-minded, hopefully easy going person who loves life!
Some people might say I'm too shy, some - that I'm over talkative.
I consider myself as the child of Earth (I would say Galaxy or Universe, but don't want to sound pretentious (though I just did it, ha))
I'm often feeling myself odd because I like many things that are opposite to each other, like nature and megacities, dancing till dawn and roll in bed whole weekend, rationality and solipsism, pizza and happiness, oh, wait, pizza is happiness, sorry, my bad. Anyway, you got the point, right🙄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's like meeting with old friends, but the ones you've never met ©
One Ukrainian song has lines 'and the distances don't matter when somebody's waiting for you there' - it describes the couching experience pretty good. It's like the whole world feels like home.

Interests

I love life in general. Love traveling, of course, and not that much for destination but for the journey itself. Can't stay on beach more than two days in a row:) I prefer sightseeing, see new places, get new experience. Also I like active resting: hiking into mountains, trekking, swimming, riding a bicycle. And I love fields...just love it - it is the freedom itself.

When staying at home I like reading, dreaming, watching movies and TV series and hanging out with my cats whom I like more than my neighbours 🙄

I also like a lot to think about future...what it will looks like. I love everything about AI and modern technologies and I believe not in a very long future we will see cyber symbiosis relationships between human and machine.

Music, Movies, and Books

No music no life! My special bands are Depeche mode and IAMX. Them I consider more than just a music, they contribute to a lifestyle too. It doesn't matter if I don't listen to them every day - they deep inside me already. Also among favourites (for the current time) are a-ha, Interpol, Muse, Placebo, Archive, Imagine Dragons, Royksopp, Hurts, Oomph, Jayce Lewis, Shame. So you can say I prefer indie, brit-pop, synth-pop, electronic, trip-hop, industrial and alternative. Which of course doesn't mean I don't listen to other genres, Katy Perry is quite cool too😎

Books: as I mentioned, I love reading.
Can't divide any specific genre, from Shakespeare to Hawking. Mostly I read fiction, historiosophical literature, but also have some documentary and educational/motivational books in my library (I prefer old-fashioned paper books to electronic ones - can't deal with it, it's the smell and a feeling from rolling the pages...mmm))
My favorite poet is Federico Lorka, as for the writer - not wide famous Dimitry Merezhkovsky, playwriter - Mr. Snakebeer, pardon, Shakespeare 😋

Movies.
Christopher Nolan is a genius. From Memento and Insomnia through Prestige, Dark Knight and Inception to Interstellar and Dunkerk - each his movie I saw I loved.

I love movie a lot.. Also very hard to divide some genre, I enjoy both Marvel's Avengers and Jim Jarmush's Dead Man 🖤
But if I was asked to name just one movie, I would say The Matrix. Always and forever. There is no spoon:)

Also - live long and prosper! If I see somebody confuse Star Trek with Star Wars I scream internally:))

Also I have to mention TV series which now stands as a serious competitor to cinema industry. I love them so much that try to restrain myself from watching it non stop. Among the favourite ones are Sense8, Black mirror, Hannibal, Doctor Who, True Detective, GOT, Westworld, The Hollow Crown, The Handmaid's tale...and Friends 🙂

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got born:) After that it is easy to find amazing stuff everyday!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn Spanish, but I'm too lazy to do it alone😇 I can teach Ukrainian/Russian, if enough time. Also I can teach how to start being a Cat person and all the beauty and bitterness cats bring to our lives 😺😼
