Overview
About Me
Who am I? That is the question I ask myself all my life. That is the point -- to ask and discover new shapes of yourself.
Currently, I'm focused on building a solid base for my professional growth. Meanwhile, I continue to follow my passions. My big dream was to become a digital nomad, and now I am. That's so cool experience in daily life to see the sunrises and sunsets in different countries, to go swimming in the Red sea during lunchtime, or go on daily hiking just from the home.
I'm hungry for new experiences together with cool people and want to share all the best on my own.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to share the best I have with the best people.
I want to get the best from the best people.
Experience, thoughts, awesome places, lifehacks, and so on.
Life is too short to live it alone)
Interests
I travel all my life. Literally -- my first trip was at 9month old. I used to sleep mostly in my mom's kayak. When you are 9month old -- there are not so many things to do actually) Later I used to hike, make kayaking, and camping with my parents and friends. Once I discovered hitchhiking and my life is changed -- I did more than 200000km across 16countries on the continent.
One of the last things I have tried is snorkeling in the Red sea. It is such a deep meditation to observe this colorful underwater life. Soon I started the freediving to archive more freedom and points of view in the sea. To get even more freedom I have got a basic course in kite surfing and fallen in love with it. Just pure joy.
Festivals and volunteering are the different points of view on the same thing. To be a part of a big team to create an extraordinary event is much more interesting for me instead of just being a common participant.
Photography is the way to catch the moments of life for me, to take a snapshot of reality. I hope once it would be possible to take it together with the sound, taste, feelings and thoughts.

Music, Movies, and Books
Woah, I am not really into names of music genres, but I'd say house, disco, ambient, neoclassic, acoustic. I love some African vibes as well, techno. It depends actually -- different music for different life scenarios.
I used to listen to reggae and blues, country and chillout, rock, pop, jazz, rap, indie, funk, etc. It is a part of my taste for sure.
Among the last movies, that touched my heart were: Love&Death&Robots, Rick and Morty, Swiss army man, Patterson, Attack on Titan, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, The Midnight Gospel
Books: at the school time I was crazy about fiction, fantastic and fantasy literature. Once I spent whole month in reading and finished 16 full-size books. I like non-fiction books about some life concepts as "Black Swan" of the Nassim Talleb for example. Btw I don't really have a time to read now.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have done a solo trip to Mongolia and Hong Kong as a street performer.
Once I came as a common volunteer at a country festival and end it up as a chef in a cefeteria. I just did my best to be sure, that everybody feels at home.
I did with friends a small techno-house festival for 20-30 people on my birthday with some cool DJ lights in a deep forest.
I have learned and implemented the system of personal finance management. It helped me a lot during the Covid crisis when I lost everything, and it helps me now during the full-scale Russian war against my country.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can cook some traditional Ukrainian dishes, teach you some guitar basics, and explain what Ukraine is about. There are many cool places in my country) I can explain to you how IT works, and share some understanding of the inside processes. Also, I can explain to you the basic things about personal financial management, which helped me to save consciousness during two serious crises.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my knowledge about my hobbies, and the countries I have been to. I can help you to fix some home stuff, or share my time to help you with some of your duties. It would be nice to share the photography skill to take some pictures of you. I can share a boarding game with you or be your partner in a table tennis game)
Good Ukrainian music is also an option.
