CURRENT MISSION

Expand my understanding of the world by meeting new and interesting people and learning about their culture.

ABOUT ME

To my own surprise, I was born in Ukraine: my dad is Nigerian and mom is Ukrainian.

When I start speaking Russian or Ukrainian most of the time people around me are confused because they don't understand what is going on and why this black guy is speaking Russian like a native.

I smile and laugh a lot and try to stay positive and optimistic throughout my life journey. I believe that people should be judged by their actions and not by their gender, nationality or sexual preferences.

On average I have something like 17000 days of my life left and I want to enjoy every day of it by doing what I love and what I find fulfilling such as dancing, improving myself as a person, eating tasty food, having healthy relationships with people around me and establishing new emotional connections with interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that the people we meet and our friends are the most important parts of our lives. Those people can inspire you, teach you, make you smile and you can have the most memorable experiences with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my couchsurfing this far has been through random friends of my friends and I've met a lot of great people. I've also tried couchsurfing.com several times and I deeply enjoyed the experience and want to meet even more interesting people in the future.
