ABOUT ME

I guess it's a very long story. I grew up in Ukraine, then moved to the US, lived in France for a year, graduated from college in the US and traveled for a year across South America. I love learning, exploring, living a happy life. I would have to leave the rest for a coffee time.

PHILOSOPHY

Life has no borders, no nationalities, no genders. The world is pretty small and we can all make it a better place to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't had a chance to host anyone because I have been moving too much and haven't really had a place on my own. I still try to contribute to the CouchSurfers home as much as I can and cooking, food, and beer is probably my favorite part. So if you want to try something from my grandma's cooking... here I come!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great experience so far. I have stayed with people in France, Colombia, and Argentina and met lots of fellow travelers along the way.
