Hi everyone! We are Andrii and Nadya - married couple from Ukraine. We were traveling for more than 8 months by hitchhiking around Middle East and Asia and lived for over 1 year in Guangzhou, China. Came back home and after 7 months started another travel and lived in Hanoi, Viet Nam for 3.5 years.

After Russian invasion to Ukraine we permanently moved to Calgary.

Andrii is a it-guy with a passion in photography. He loves mountains, deep forests, to play chess and Nadiia!
Nadiia is a traveller. She loves books, exotic fruits and to guide Andrii to different countries.

We are open- minded and easy-going. Both of us love reading, discovering new places, and meet new interesting people. We don't like alcohol or night party life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We used CS during our travel and found unbelievably amazing people here.

While at home we like to give back to the CS community and help developing this way of traveling in this part of the World.

Interests

Both of us love learning, walking around, traveling and meeting new interesting people. Also theater, art, photography, movies (especially those that make you think), reading (also for thinking), cooking and pretty much any new adventure!

Music, Movies, and Books

Andrii: Loves jungle, but also classical, jazz and instrumental.
There is too much good movies to pick one, but I can tell my favorite directors: Kubrick, Tarantino,
Hitchcock, Nolan, Iñárritu
The same for books: Alan Dean Foster, Mark Twen, Tolkien

Nadiia: Loves Nneka, Guano Apes, Kongos, Maroon 5, Muse, Onuka
Too much movies to tell about, better if we will discuss them in real life)
Most of all I love books which are based on the real stories of real people. But I have two favorite
authors who's books I love even more: Ayn Rand and Arthur Hailey
