👋 Hi, I’m Jan (JanTar)!

I am originally from Ukraine 🇺🇦, but for the past 3 years, I have been living in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

Nederland is mijn tweede thuis! (The Netherlands is my second home!)

I am a creator, a musician, a spontaneous explorer, and a "Techno-Shaman" of the modern world. I’m the kind of person who can discuss the latest crypto trends or AI tools in the morning, and dance barefoot to drum rhythms by a campfire at night. 🌗

🧠 My "Sparkly Brain" & Personality I am a huge extrovert and often the soul of the company! ⚡️ Full Disclosure: I navigate the world with a "sparkly brain" (ADHD & some autistic traits). This means I am super active, I have a galaxy of interests, and I think outside the box. Sometimes I might be direct or miss a subtle social cue, but I always come with an open heart and zero bad intentions. Life with me is never boring!

🎥 The Current Mission: Project India & Filmmaking Right now, I am living my ultimate dream: Traveling to India with ZERO money, fueled entirely by human kindness and trust. I am filming a documentary movie about this radical experiment to show how beautiful humanity is.

The Gear: You’ll often see me with my DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I’m diving deep into video production, editing, and blogging.

The Channel: I run a YouTube vlog where I document these stories.

💻 The Plot Twist: AI, Crypto & Tech It might sound paradoxical given my love for nature, but I have a Software Engineering background.

Tech Stack: I am deeply immersed in Artificial Intelligence, using it for "vibe coding" and art generation.

Crypto & Web3: I’m an active Telegram user and follow the Crypto markets.

Hardware: I love digging into hardware or flashing custom ROMs on Android phones. 📱

🌿 My Lifestyle & Vibe

Community: I resonate with the Rainbow Family values: openness, sharing, and love. 🌈

Nature is Home: I love hitchhiking, bicycles, and swimming in cold lakes/rivers.

Food: I have professional experience in cooking and baking. I love feeding people! 🥘

⚠️ Why is this profile new? I am an experienced traveler and used to have an active CS account with history. Sadly, I lost access to it. I have a wide network of friends across Europe, but I’m starting fresh here to meet amazing locals like you!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I’m on CouchSurfing because I truly believe in people and in human connection.

When you arrive in a foreign country where you don’t know anyone yet, community becomes everything. CouchSurfing is one of the few places where strangers can meet as humans first — not as clients, not as services, but as people.

Right now I’m traveling, moving between countries, and I’m in a situation where I need to find a place to stay. But more than just a roof, I’m looking for connection, safety, and mutual respect — the feeling that you’re not alone in an unfamiliar place.

For me, CouchSurfing is about trust, cultural exchange, conversations, shared moments, and supporting each other on the road. Sometimes it’s about giving, sometimes about receiving — and often both at the same time.

That’s why I’m here.

音乐、电影和书籍

I consider myself a true melomaniac. My soul belongs to Ethnic and World music — there is something magical about traditional sounds and tribal samples. However, my playlist is a wild mix: I enjoy the raw energy of Rock, the high-speed rhythm of Drum & Bass, and the hypnotic vibes of club culture, including Psytrance and Progressive Trance. Even if I'm not listening to music 24/7 right now, I’m always open to discovering local sounds or sharing a beat that moves the spirit.

Movies

"I’m drawn to 'cinema with a soul' — films that challenge the mind and leave you reflecting long after the credits roll. My all-time favorites are Interstate 60 and Revolver. I’m fascinated by deep, philosophical storytelling like Inception and I Origins.

I also have a soft spot for Arthouse and unconventional narratives. For instance, I find the atmosphere of The Bothersome Man (Den brysomme mannen) and the raw honesty of Shortbus incredibly compelling. If you love discussing hidden meanings and metaphors in film, we’ll definitely have a lot to talk about!"

Books

"When it comes to literature, I value quality over quantity. I’m a fan of Victor Pelevin for his unique take on reality, and I’ve enjoyed diving into the surreal worlds of Haruki Murakami. One of the most impactful books for me has been 'Two Lives' by Concordia Antarova — it’s a profound read that resonates with my search for meaning."

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Right now, I am living my ultimate dream: a journey to India fueled entirely by human kindness and communication, without any budget. This isn't just a trip; it's my life’s biggest project and a radical experiment in trust. This experience has pushed my boundaries further than I ever imagined over the last few years, teaching me the true depth of human connection and the power of 'flow'. It is a deeply spiritual and transformative mission that defines who I am today.

教，学，和分享

What I Can Teach You:

The Language of Rhythm: I travel with a hand drum and several vargans (jaw harps). I can teach you basic rhythms, how to extract soul-stirring sounds from these instruments, and help you develop a deep sense of rhythm.

Movement & Flow: I am passionate about Contact Improvisation. I can show you how to move freely, find lightness in dance, and embrace the 'flow state' through improvised movement.

Traditional Crafts: I make my own clothes and can teach you how to sew the 'Aladdin' pants I wear. If you prefer working with wood, I can show you the meditative art of carving a wooden spoon.

Culinary Arts: With extensive experience in professional cooking and baking, I can teach you how to prepare simple yet delicious meals and exquisite desserts.

The Cold Plunge: If you’re up for it, I can guide you through the invigorating experience of swimming in cold lakes or rivers — a great way to wake up the spirit!

What I Want to Learn:

I’ve had a long-standing fascination with throat singing. If you know the technique or can introduce me to this vocal art, I would be an incredibly grateful student!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I believe that the best things in life aren't things—they are experiences, skills, and connections. As I travel towards India on a mission of radical trust, here is what I bring to your home:

1. Stories of Radical Trust & Adventure I am currently documenting the journey of a lifetime: traveling to India without a budget, relying solely on human kindness. I can share deep, raw, and inspiring stories from the road—tales of the people I’ve met, the challenges I’ve overcome, and the philosophy of living life in the 'flow.'

2. A Musical Atmosphere I travel with a hand drum and vargans (jaw harps). I can provide a rhythmic backdrop to our evening or even lead a small jam session. If you’ve ever wanted to find your inner rhythm, I’m happy to share my instruments and techniques with you.

3. Culinary Delights & Baking I have a professional background in cooking and a true passion for baking. I can whip up delicious, simple meals from whatever is in the pantry, or we can spend an afternoon baking desserts. I love the way a shared meal brings people together.

4. Creative Workshops

Movement: I can guide you through Contact Improvisation, helping you find freedom and lightness in how you move.

Craftsmanship: I can show you how I sew my own Aladdin pants or teach you the meditative process of carving a wooden spoon.

The Cold Plunge: If you're feeling brave, I can introduce you to the invigorating world of cold-water swimming!

5. My Global Network I’ve spent a lot of time building communities across Europe. If you are planning to travel to the Netherlands or Belgium, I can share my personal database of contacts, cool locations, and friends who might be able to host or guide you there.
