My name is Max, I'm 26, from Kharkiv, Ukraine. I like to travel, visit many interesting places, cities and countries, meet new people, explore the culture, life and local cuisine of this places. Travel is in my blood. I was 6 month when I traveled to another country with my mom. When I was 3 I spent 3 days in the train and drove about 4000 kilometers only one way! When I was 15, I started to discover my country alone or with my friends. When I was 19, I tried amazing things like hitchhiking and couchsurfing. Now I'm 26 and I can't stop travel and try some new crazy things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Don't search a PLACE to stay. Search a PERSON to stay with!

I don't like to use CS only like free accomodation. It's not for money but for nice and interesting company, some useful information and new experience. I want to meet many interesting people from all over the world. You don't know place, city and country when you live in the hotel. You get to know place, city and country when you stay with people who lives in this place for a long time. Thats why I prefer spend time with my guests and show them my city. And I hope that my hosts will have free time to spend it with me.

Interests

I played football for a long time, but now I have a knee injury so football for me is just a hobby, but the main hobby. Besides that I intrested in other kind of sport like hockey, basketball, boxing, F1 racing and others. I like to cooking, playing poker, listen good music and watching good movies. And of course travelling=)

I like to listen many kinds of music, from pop to club, from rap to rock (but not very hard rock)
My favorite movies are "Bigger than Ben", "Fight club", "Boondock Saints", "V for Vendetta", "Into the Wild", "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels ", "Snatch", "RocknRolla", "The Terminal", "Yes Man", "The Truman Show" and many others.
I like Ukrainian classic and historical literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The amathing things I've done are all my unplanned travels: first hitchhiking experience when we travelled in Belarus and suddenly we get wanted to go to St. Petersbourg. One month traveling in Georgia and Turkey with many adventures and canceled plane from Istanbul to Kharkiv. Winter traveling in Eastern Europe with 40 hours alone non-stop hitchhaking from Kharkiv to Wroclaw (1700 km).
I'm a person who go for a walk and take a passport with him because tomorrow he can wake up in another country=) So I hope that the most amazing thing in my life I will do in the future!
