About Me

I run a small international business from Ukraine, providing call center services throughout the world.

I believe I'm social, positive and outgoing and these're the qualities I value in people I meet.

I've been to 10+ new countries in 2017 and hope this trend continues in 2018. The world is waiting to be discovered, isn't it? :)

In my everyday spare time I play in a amateur soccer team, lifting weights aka body building, chilling aka playing videogames (not into TV shows tbh), or going out exploring new venues.

Usually I'll be travelling with my stunning girlfriend Julia.

I don't drink and don't smoke.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the most important parts of travelling to a new country for me is immersing into its culture.
Getting to know locals is the first and probably major step to this immersion :)

Interests

E-commerce. How to sell things worldwide. That's my bread and butter.

Health & Bodybuilding. Can talk for hours about those topics. Or even better I'd go lift weights with you or go for a bike ride.

RnB and Rap music. I learnt English by listening to 2Pac, Dr. Dre and Eminem songs in my early teens. That's what you call a cultural impact of Hip-Hop: a boy 10.000 kilometers from LA learnt the language thanks to "Ambitionz az a Ridah" by mr. Shakur :)

Soccer. One of my passions from the early childhood years. I play it in real life and videogames, I watch it whenever I get a chance to.

Video games. Even though I don't have much time to play them anymore, I'm amazed by what king of products the gaming industry produces.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I my late teens I was a lil' bit aerophobic, so I decided to do a skydive to deal with the fear. It was scary as hell, but that year I fell in love with skydiving and did like 10+ jumps (and then run out of money,' cuz I was a student at that time).
