Originally from Ukraine, I’ve been living in Los Angeles for the past 7 years. Before that, I spent a couple of years each in Poland and Dubai — so I’ve experienced life in a few different cultures, and I love connecting with people who have stories to share.

Professionally, I’m in business development and currently involved in several tech projects, including a robotics company and an AI-powered SaaS startup. I enjoy helping founders shape their ideas, build strategy, and enter new markets — so if you’re working on something creative or ambitious, I’m always happy to brainstorm or give feedback.

Outside of work, I’m into cycling, running, and Thai boxing (used to do martial arts competitively back in the day). I’m also a decent cook — especially when it comes to simple, hearty meals that bring people together. Whether it’s over a shared breakfast or a sunset walk, I believe the best connections happen naturally.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I’ve always been drawn to meeting people from different cultures and walks of life. For me, the most powerful moments happen in simple conversations — when we share our stories, perspectives, and worldviews.

I believe the world needs more of that. More connection. More openness. More listening.

I’ve never believed in borders. I don’t look at people through the lens of nationality — I look for what we have in common: being human. Couchsurfing, for me, is about that kind of human connection — authentic, spontaneous, and real.

教，学，和分享

Teach:
I can share what I know about business development, startup strategy, pitching, and market expansion — especially for early-stage ideas. I’m also happy to teach some basics of boxing or martial arts, or how to cook a few Ukrainian meals.

Learn:
I’m always curious to learn new perspectives, local customs, and practical skills — whether it’s a new language expression, a cultural insight, or even how you make your favorite dish. I’m especially interested in creative industries, filmmaking, and emerging tech.

Share:
Good conversation, fresh ideas, and a sense of calm. I enjoy sharing meals, going for a bike ride or a run, or just having a thoughtful walk through a new neighborhood. I’m all about real moments and meaningful exchanges — not just ticking places off a map.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I’m a good listener — not just passively, but with presence and curiosity. Whether you want to share an idea you’re working on or something more personal, I’m happy to offer feedback, a different perspective, or just space to be heard.

If you’re into entrepreneurship or have a business idea, I can give you quick, honest insights based on my experience in startups and business development.

Also — I cook! I’m more than happy to prepare a meal while I’m staying with you. Nothing fancy, just something tasty and made with care. I believe sharing food and conversation is one of the simplest and best ways to connect.
