Hello, world!

I have a degree in Economics, but my real passion is connected with modern culture, music, cinematography and creative people from whom I get the biggest inspiration. Here in Kyiv I organize secret music concerts Sofar Sounds, work with some Ukrainian bands, can tell you bunch of info about music export and local artists, as well as try to develop internal tourism via independent youth initiative.

I always take possibilities of interesting volunteering and like to inspire people. Admiring the beautiful diversity of Ukraine, one of my devotions is to share this love across the whole globe.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is the most important part of my life. I play keyboards, a bit of flute, whistle (irish folk instrument) and ukulele. My most beloved genres are heavy/trash metal, (post)punk rock and blues. Also, I highly appreciate jazz, reggae, stoner rock, nordic and celtic folk. Well, basically, I'm fully open to anything new and interesting in the music world.

In cinematography I admire works of David Fincher, Francis Coppola, Christopher Nolan, Wes Anderson and everything connected with Edward Norton. Ones of my most beloved movies are The Fight Club and Into the Wild.

Recently I became really interested in modern ukrainian literature, and I would be pleased to share my findings with you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent my 18th Birthday in Chernobyl (radioactive ukrainian zone).
P.S. This doesn't mean I'm radioactive.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always glad to share all skills and stories with people around (of course, if they want me to).
Usually I take whistle to the trips with me, so it's a great chance for you to learn how it sounds and works.
I can ruin all stereotypes about Ukraine, teach a bit of national language, share our coolest modern music of all genres and always bring some nice traditional food or souvenirs with me.
Animal-friendly, clean-living, understandable and respective, doing my best not to make any troubles for the people around.
