About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This profile dates from the day when me and two friends of mine decided to pursue a master study in the Netherlands, so we moved together from from Kiev to Maastricht and enjoyed our student time as much as we could - travelling around and hanging out with cool people.
Since then, my friends left the Netherlands and I was working hard on my PhD and some other projects. These days, I want to come back to the community, meet people from around the world, share adventures and get inspired!
