Hey, my name is Max, I'm 25 years old. Currently live in Krakow, Poland, although originally from Kiev, Ukraine.

Roughly a year ago, I decided to change something in my life, so I figured that the best way to do that is to change the environment, and here I am, living my life in Poland :) It is a beautiful city and I wish everyone would have an opportunity to visit this place.
I love traveling, especially if a trip isn't well-planned. It's always fun and it proved to be the best trips ever. Discovering new places, meet new people, learning something about different cultures, languages is very much interesting to me.

Something about what I do. Even though I graduated from Technical University of Kiev as a Electrical Engineer, a little while ago I started my carrier in Software Engineering (Software Testing). Long story short, I break things that others develop and write code that tests other code :)

I also play piano. I finished the school of art and I used to play piano a lot, but since I don't have a piano now, I can only play in a library, and I wish I did it more often:)

I am HUGE fan of F*R*I*E*N*D*S. Actually, the main reason why I wanted to visit USA is to find that building where characters (supposedly) lived in, I succeeded and now I am a lucky and happy guy with a picture of myself in front of that building :)
Also I am huge fan of Suits, but it's a different story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about CS a long time ago but I have never been involved in that community. I think it's because I was living with my parents back then so I couldn't host anyone, plus I wasn't traveling too often.

Now, since I've moved to a different country to the city where I barely know anyone, and that would be cool to get on board:)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite TV-shows are Friends, Suits, Breaking Bad (say my name...), Homeland, Scandal, Dexter...

I don't have specific type of music that I like. It's all mixed up. Although when I was younger, I was crazy about Green Day band, but unfortunately didn't have a chance to visit their concert.
I like hip-hop/rap, like Wiz Khalifa, Drake. Rock bands like Coldplay, The Doors. Radiohead, Ramones.

My favorite book is Crime and Punishment and...Harry Potter :) I also read a lot of technical stuff, but there is no point to list it here :)

There is one youtube channel that I can spend the whole day on. It's called Ownage Pranks, look it up! :)

Also, Casey Neistat is my inspiration!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think, so far it's me moving to Poland. What makes it amazing is that it wasn't planned at all. The decision was made in one night.

Teach, Learn, Share

It's crazy how much is out there to discover and to learn.
I strongly believe that we should learn as long as we live.

I am always learning and discovering something new, trying to do that every day. Sometimes I stuck on Wikipedia for like 3-4 hours :)
