Hi! I'm Ukrainian and really love to travel. In traveling I love the most 3 things and none of them least:
1. Nature and wildlife (I know that's counts as 2, but they are so attached)
2. People
3. Campers, RV's, Trailers you name it.
So far I lived in the USA for 5 years and visited 42 National Parks, 33 States, and countless State Parks, recreational lands, and beaches.
In the next 4-5 years I want to visit as much as I can.
On my bucket list is:
1. Vietnam, and countries around
2. To live in the tribe and volunteer there teaching English in Africa
3. Drive the Pan American Highway from Alaska to Chile

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because couchsurfing is the key to open a lot of new opportunities, to see the world in real way, not a tourist way, to share and soak new experiences, and last but not least to meet new, AMAZING PEOPLE, because usually people make all the adventures the best!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have few of them ;)
1. I lived on the road wit my fiance (Lina Chu https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/linaoutdoors) in my self-built teardrop trailer for 193 days in USA. And I traveled 42 National Parks and 33 States, including Alaska and Hawaii (those 2 states without the trailer of course)
2. I saved one egg of a painted turtle and raised from it a tiny turtle
3. Rescued homeless dog in Arizona prairie (nearby Canyon De Chelly). His name Dusty and now he lives with me in Lviv, Ukraine.
4. I've swum with sea lions in the wild close to San Diego
5. I saw Aurora and have traveled far further the Arctic Circle
6. I've traveled from Ukraine to America to meet a beautiful Vietnamese woman who was born in Kyiv, and speaks Ukrainian. Now we are engaged.
7. I am still ready for new adventures

What I Can Share with Hosts

Usually when somebody hosts me, I love to prepare a meal. Before I cooked only Ukrainian Borch or some other traditional soups, but now, as I am engaged to a Vietnamese girl, I can cook really good Pho Bo, TomYum, Spring rolls, etc.
But I would love to have some time with my host, to hear their stories, to see some places together, to share experiences, and from my side I can do same thing.
