I am a person that looks f̶o̶r̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶l̶e̶e̶p̶ for good people to meet
I might have had an unusual life, and despite the fact that I am just 18, I have a lot of stories to share. I am an easy-going guy. And I love to listen and to meet new cultures, through the people that represent it. That's why I am on Couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

̶B̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶I̶ ̶a̶m̶ ̶a̶ ̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶p̶o̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶t̶u̶d̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶d̶o̶e̶s̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶,̶ ̶I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶b̶a̶r̶e̶l̶y̶ ̶a̶f̶f̶o̶r̶d̶ ̶c̶h̶e̶a̶p̶ ̶h̶o̶s̶t̶e̶l̶s̶.̶ ̶
Well, actually I really love traveling, and I feel that one of the most important aspects about discovering new cultures are People. And as far as I can tell, Couchsurfing is the best way to get as much close to the People of the country I visit, as possible. Culture crossing experience and experience of kitchen talks with strangers - there is something magical about it, for me for sure.
So I hope to meet good people during my trips and help strangers in Ukraine if I can.
