About Me

Hi! I am from Ukraine and currently I live in the US. I've been here for the past 4 years, recently graduated and landed a job. Now I'm saving up for my next camera gear, and trip back to Ukraine to visit my family. Meanwhile I love seeing America and traveling. I always bring my camera with me to take nice pictures.
As a filmmaker I'm experienced with everything from pre- to post- production.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travel so much, but I can't travel if I can't afford it and couch-surfing is like a huge blessing letting me meet new people, travel around and see the world. I'm a filmmaker, always looking for interesting people and their stories they have to tell - I can't think of a better way to find people and explore cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music, I feel like in every genre and style there is something good. I probably don't listen to rap and hip hop as much though. And I love oldies, they warm my heart.
My top films are: Love Actually, I Am Sam, Hachi, About Time, Bridget Jones, Before Sunrise (Sunset, and Midnight), Amelie, Cinema Paradiso, Life is Beautiful ... can't remember the rest.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my culture, my knowledge in filmmaking and arts. I can share some cooking skills and we can have some fun singing along to our favorite songs or go dancing (or even dance in your living room lol). I can share my point of view, a story or two from my life which might seem interesting and maybe inspiring to you. I am a good friend and a good listener, and I care.
