I’m originally from Lviv, Ukraine. Because of the war, I currently live in Warsaw, Poland.

I work in the IT industry and I’m deeply passionate about building startups. It is something that truly motivates me and takes a big part of my life. I enjoy drinking wine and having conversations about absolutely any topic, from deep life discussions to spontaneous ideas and random thoughts.

I love riding a motorcycle, skiing, and I recently started playing tennis. I also got scuba diving certified in Indonesia, which was an unforgettable experience for me.

I was a vegetarian for 8 years, so I’m open to different lifestyles and ways of thinking. I’m currently learning French and I lived in France for 8 months. I really love France, its culture, lifestyle, and atmosphere.

I value open mindedness, mutual respect, and good energy. I enjoy meaningful conversations as much as quiet time and personal space

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m currently living in emigration, and when you live abroad it can be quite challenging to build new connections and meet people naturally.

For me, Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to meet new people, connect with interesting and inspiring individuals, and build meaningful connections around the world.

I enjoy learning from people from different countries, understanding their cultures, lifestyles, and perspectives. Sometimes these connections inspire future travels, and maybe even a move to another country one day.

Couchsurfing helps make emigration feel more human, open, and connected.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy watching movies and TV series much more than reading. I like good films and shows with strong stories, interesting characters, and emotional depth.

I don’t really enjoy reading books. Very rarely I listen to audiobooks, but it’s not a big part of my life.

Music is important to me and I really enjoy listening to it. I like different genres depending on my mood and situation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got scuba diving certified in Indonesia. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave me a completely new perspective on the world. Being underwater taught me calmness, focus, and respect for nature

Teach, Learn, Share

I have hands on experience in launching startups from idea to real product. I’ve worked with online sales, production, hardware projects, and building businesses from scratch.

I have a strong background in IT and understand the full product cycle, from idea and validation to development and launch. I have experience with UI and UX design, software development, and product management, and I understand how different parts of the IT world work together.

I’m happy to share my experience, discuss ideas, give feedback on products, startups, or business concepts, and exchange knowledge about technology, entrepreneurship, and digital products.

At the same time, I’m always open to learning from others, especially about different industries, cultures, personal experiences, and new perspectives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, positive energy, and mutual respect. I’m always happy to share a glass of wine, stories from my travels, and experiences from living in different countries.

I can also share my knowledge about IT, startups, and traveling, and I always try to be a respectful, clean, and easy going guest.
