I love languages and cultures. I code for a living but right now I'm trying to travel more to get out of the repetitive routines I've set up for myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, and when I travel places I don't want to get the shitty tourist hotel experience, I want to meet people, connect with them, have some beers, enjoy life, and enjoy what these different places and cultures have to offer. Tourist attractions get old after a while, but the memories from encounters like this stay forever and you recall them years after the fact.

That's what couchsurfing lets me do. I've couchsurfed a bit now, not through the site, but with friends of friends, and it's an amazing experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is trance. My favorite song of all time is Armin van Buuren's "Imagine" as it got me into the genre that shaped the rest of my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I founded and work as CTO of a startup where we made a music promotion app that has reached 3 million people so far and will continue to reach more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of fun (chilled drinking or energetic raving, whatever we feel like at the time), what it's like to live in a dacha country house in Ukraine, my Russian knowledge, and quite a few friends around the world and especially America who may be happy to let you crash with them :)
