CURRENT MISSION

enjoy the little things

ABOUT ME

I am fun, energetic, up for anything, curious, and I love to meet people and learn about new cultures, customs, and foods. I am originally from Ukraine, but I grew up in the US and used to live in beautiful Sweden while finishing up my Masters. Recently, I've moved to Miami and am enjoying the sun and heat.

I'm a really nice person and I'm sure we'd get along.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't settle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by grabbing coffee/lunch/taking walks/moonlight strolls/starting book clubs/language exchange and random things. Just ask me to hang out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was staying with a friend of a friend in Barcelona. He was too good to be true and went out of his way to pick us up from the airport and made sure my friends and I had a good 5 hours of sleep before our flight to Ibiza the next morning. Aldo, you are amazing and you give me hope that there are more wonderful people like you out in the world.

Since then I've couch surfed with some awesome people in Japan, Thailand, and Cambodia. I think CS is one of the most fun ways to meet people and would do it for nearly every trip!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went for a hike while traveling in Colorado and saw the green trees and rocky mountains give way to magnificent sandy dunes at the Great Dunes National Park. It was one of the most magical experiences and too perfect to explain.
