Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Find a place on earth that I DON'T want to go to.
ABOUT ME
I like to think I am pretty friendly and get along with the people I meet. I am obsessed with traveling, but have to find ways to do it on the cheap. I like to go out and hang out with people, share some experiences and maybe hit a singing room.
PHILOSOPHY
Try anything once, if only to prove you don't like it. No experience is useless, you always gain something. If you can't change something, try to find a way to enjoy it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am going to be moving around a lot in the next few months, but wherever I go, whenever I have a couch, I will make it available to who needs it.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have stayed at surfers' places in Ukraine. Exceptional experience, so welcoming. Showed me around their cities, gave directions, really helped me out in unfamiliar territory. Thank you!
Met several CS people at a recent CS Meetup. All of them were fun, engaging people.
Interests
Teaching, travel, running, hiking, cliff-diving, reading, watching films. Petting dogs that don't want to bite me.
