About Me

MISSION

Be the change in the world.

ABOUT ME

«I read. I travel. I become» phrase by Direk Walcott says it all about me. I feel like every new city, every new person becomes a part of me, letting me see the world from different perspectives.

Lived for one year and traveled half of Europe with this girl @Kristina (couchsurfing.com/people/christina-marina) and we even created a FB blog together @krismariblog. Check our video on YouTube, they are in four languages :D

On my way to become the President of Ukraine.

PHILOSOPHY

Set a goal that makes you want to jump out of your bed in the morning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
