Starting from my first trip to New-York as 16 year's old kid, I have visited about 15 countries all over the world. Every visit has brought to me a lot of adventures, funny stories to tell and great people on my way. Since that time I loved to discover new cultures and meet new people from all over the world. My passion helped much to do international business successfully.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I registered in CS in 2014.
I participated in CS meetings in my native city in Dnipro and tried to visit CS meetings in the places where I travel. I'm really excited about CS meetings because there I receive so many emotions as nowhere else. The only community I've met the same concentration of great and exciting people from all over the world was AIESEC youth organization where I was a member in the past.
I usually travel once or twice per year and try to find a couch if I have enough time. I think that people is the most important part of travelling and try to discover local culture and traditions talking to locals and couchsurfers.
I host from time to time and hope do it more often when I'll move to another bigger flat.

Interests

Learning foreign languages and cultures, descovering new countries and meeting new people combined make all together me to be passioante about travelling.
I participate in the different initiatives strived to realize positive changes in my city like implementation of e-petitions, participation budget for locals and etc.
One more of my passions is snowboarding. Even if I'm not in the mountains in winter I go to the local snow park to train.
And of cause I like to eat and discover new dishes as well as like to drink beer and wine and like to discover new tastes.
And at last as soon as the spring has come I start jogging. When I'm not jogging I play mini-soccer.
