CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world with open eyes and open mind.

ABOUT ME

Since a drastic change to living environment due to a relocation from Ukraine (Dnipropertrovsk) to USA (San Francisco) I opened a new world of travel and absolutely fell in love with it. I love seeing new places, architectures, life styles, meeting new people, experiencing cultural differences and everything that goes with it and beyond.

PHILOSOPHY

You see the world as you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm traveling the world and looking for places to stay while I'm on the road.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been planning my long term trip for the past year and now I'm about to start it. I decided that CS could be a huge help while I'll be traveling around. I haven't had any CS experience as of now but hoping to join the community very soon.

Interests

I'm interested in a lot of things. Here are a few from various categories:
East and eastern cultures: China, India, Thailand, Tibet, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, South-Asia etc.
Music: there is not the best music ever, there is the best music at the moment. In other words my test in music varies from punk-rock to Vivaldi, Mozart and others.
Sports: soccer, snowboarding, wakeboarding, skydiving, biking, superbikes, hiking etc.
People: any people on the planet open to a dialog.
