Hello everyone! My name is Fedir and I originally come from Ukraine. Since summer of 2018 I’ve been living in China. I like to travel and even though have been to not a lot of countries yet, have a dream to visit most countries throughout my life. I like active leisure, sports, reading, cooking and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard about Couchsurfing from my friends and decided to give it a try. I think that this websites gives a great opportunity to meet new people, make friends and also explore each country the best way you can by meeting local people and learning about their culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading and exploring different genres of books. So far my favorite ones are - "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts, "The Financier" by Theodore Dreiser and "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. As far as music I pretty much listen to everything besides heavy metal and that kind of stuff. Talking about movies - my favorite ones are comedies because I like when you can watch a movie which would relax you in the evening after a busy day but not make you think and worry about the characters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a big adventurous trip to FSM - Federated States of Micronesia with the non profit that I used to work for. I was helping to set up an educational project there for islanders and was completely blown away by the culture of outer islands. It was a 25 hour trip by plane from LA to Yap - which is one of the States of FSM and then we got onto a relatively small ship and it took us 7 days in the open ocean with no land around to travel to Ifalik - which is the most amazing island I ever seen. I enjoyed exploring their culture, going fishing with islanders, cooking and sleeping in their traditional huts.

What I Can Share with Hosts
