I am a PhD student at Karazin Kharkiv National University. I have been living in Kharkov (the North-Eastern Part of Ukraine) for 6 years, but I'm from a small village in Zaporizhzhia Region. I always dreamed to travel around the world, and to see all its colors, but all my exeperience of travelling is limited by the borders of Ukraine - before the October of 2018, when I had implemented part of my travelling dream and had visited 5 countries by 10 days: Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and Czech. And it was incredible experience!:)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm looking for experience of communication with local residents of the countries that I plan to visit - because of all main attractions attract the main attention of tourists, but still do not convey the souls of these cities and countries. And, of course, this is without too much pathos - I'm looking for a temporary lodging in my future thrifty travels :)

音乐、电影和书籍

Music. For the present time my preferences in music are rap and hip-hop cultures. But, in general, I am a music lover and listen to everything that I consider nice and rhythmic; No matter what kind of genre of music it is.

Books. I do not read very much, but there is some books which really impressed me, such as:
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Kiz
The Man Who Laughs by Victor Hugo
Portrait of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
In addition, I recently have started reading Losing My Virginity by Richard Branson, and I think this book is very motivating and exciting.

Movies. My own Top 5 of the films I've ever watched:
Interstellar
The Intouchables
The Dark Knight
Knockin' on Heaven's Door
The Prestige
As far as you can see, my favoruite director is Cristopher Nolan :)

教，学，和分享

I can tell you a lot about Ukraine, both in the terms of tourism and the political issues. Also, based on my study and work, I can discuss really a lot about the worldwide politics, and the policies of certain states. As a bonus, I can tell you a lot about how to choos a good smartphone because I'm quite keen on this topic :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share with my hosts my good mood, impressions about their hometown and country, and also some stories about my life in the largest country of Europe (not Russia but Ukraine). And if somebody wants to get a small souvenir from me, and from Ukraine, I will do my best to make it the most precious Ukrainian souvenir ever :) Also I can cook the most popular national meals in Ukraine such as the Borscht.
