About Me

I like planning some things and be spontaneous with other, value honesty and integrity. I like what i do and try not to waste my time on things i am not enjoying :)
There are so many surprises and so many lessons to learn along the way, one has to live every experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

New cultures and new people always teach me something, i like helping other people and consider it one of the best things you can do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would not call it amazing, rather adventurous - after almost no sleep (made an improvised bedding on the tree from a small plastic wrapping rope, with dogs and other creatures snitching at the bottom of the tree at night) and a long hard day of hiking (with wild animals signs and being lost) started a summit on a 2.5k mountain in the evening with no food or water, in sandals with injured knee, slept on the top, the rest can be heard in person...sorry it is a long story to type :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give you some advice on picking a film camera, cooking tips or tips on cooking gear, tips on outdoor gear, teach ukrainian, share my knowledge on whatever field you are interested in, share my adventure stories.
