About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living life without a plan

ABOUT ME

I am a Ukrainian, living and studying in Sweden. Every since my first trip abroad, I have this desire to explore more and more new places!
I am active and enthusiastic. I love to do tons of things at the same time. I love to dream and come up with some incredible stuff. No moment shell be wasted! :) I enjoy fast pace of life and changes excite me.
Among the earthly things, I love whipped cream, mocha, flip-flops, earrings, the smell of freshly cut grass, warm breeze on the spring evening...

PHILOSOPHY

Anything is possible. I believe that hard work, persistence and positive attitude to everything you do will be rewarding. I try search for the "good" in this life and think that karma is a real deal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surffffffff :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

the start was rough. But practice shows it gets better. Recent experience was awesome!

Interests

I love everything new and different from my usual life.
This is why I enjoy traveling. Trying something new? Sure, why not :)
Getting more into specifics, can tell that I love complex things, that challenge and stimulate. So, economics is one of the major areas of my interest. I don't like politics, however. Too much BS there :)
I also enjoy good food and good music. Do not like to restrict myself on that.
I like words! Languages and sounds fascinate me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Russian Classics. There is just something magnificent about it. But also I enjoy fantasy and adventure novels.
Among the favorite reads are:
S. Godin "Linchpin"
F. Dostoevskij "Brothers Karamazovy" (the most favorite ever, but I like most of his works)
B. Akunin "Adventures of E. Fandorin"
J.K. Rowling "Harry Potter"
+many more..reading is my passion

Here is the truth, I don't like movies TOO much. Not a big fan of Hollywood... But I really enjoy not mainstream films. Latest discovery "Exit through the gift shop" by Banksy and "Melancholia" by Lars von Trier.
