Hi! I’m a young guy from Ukraine who’s decided to hitchhike across Europe. I’ve been living in Ternopil for over five years, where I’ve hosted more than 15 guests, and now I believe that this kindness will come back to me during my journey. I’m a traveler, I love festivals and volunteering at events, and I have an ambitious goal to complete an Ironman. But before that, I decided I need to hitchhike across Europe—I want to have unforgettable encounters, amazing culinary experiences, and visual delights.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
A host is a person who can discover the city in a completely different way, tell interesting stories, go for a walk together/be silent and not communicate at all, and that's the whole vibe. I can't host yet but I'm looking forward to it because it's super cool, thanks to all the people who hosted me, you're awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share
I am ready to share my stories about hitchhiking, living in a tent by the sea, and walking the Podilsk Way of St. James pilgrimage route in Ukraine. I am also always happy to talk about volunteering at festivals, blood donation, straight edge, soccer, and much more. I dream of learning to play the djembe, I love stretching, I have never practiced yoga/meditation, so I would be happy to try.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Souvenirs, sweets, conversations, walks
