I am a 20 years old student who is a true influencer of my society, city and country.
Being a part of the Ukrainian Leadership Academy (ULA - is a program of personal and social development, main element of which is the 10-month formational course for secondary school graduates) and one of the key members of All throughout Ukraine NGO Foundation of Regional Initiatives I initiated several projects and developed a strong network of active citizens of my country.
Currently, I am an active part of NGO Greencubator (https://greencubator.info/?lang=en) which develops sustainable entrepreneurship, low-carbon innovations and green economy development in Ukraine and Eastern Europe.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am really open to all kinds of music and cannot differentiate anything exactly.
Speaking about the films, it depends on my mood - I might watch some comedies one time while discussing the fascinating ideas of the philosophical movies other time.
I like reading books that can make me better in all aspects of life. Self-development is a key to my success that is why I enjoy reading such kind of literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This year I and my friend Dmytro Schebetyuk took a 1-month hitchhiking trip throughout Europe having only 100 euros in the pocket and a guitar. The goal is to promote inclusion, ecology and active citizenship among Ukrainians and to motivate people to lead active lifestyle showing that travelling and emotions it gives are accessible to everyone and only the sky is a limit.
You can read about it in the blog: https://dostupnoua.org/dostupnoeurotrip_eng.
It was really cool! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my positive mood, a different perspective on the things I am interested in and treat hosts with respect and something sweet. I enjoy hosting people in Ukraine and I have lots of friends from the whole Ukraine (especially youth activists who visit the capital of Ukraine) who visit me in Kyiv. That is why I try to understand the psychology of my host and always strive to create win-win situations for the host and myself.
