Hi! My name is Roman, or Roma for short. I live in Kyiv – the capital city of Ukraine.

I've crossed my country from the East to the West by means of hitch-hiking. That's why now I'm pushing the limit and eager to explore the world.

I work in a top Ukrainian advertising agency. I'm a creative and my job is creating stories that people love and believe in. Therefore I'm addicted to the constant inspiration source that is traveling.

I've already experienced couchsurfing while traveling with my friend. Now it's time to start my own story. Hope you'll give me a hand 😉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling and staying with locals is the only way to fully experience the city or a country. Also Couchsurfing is a unique community of open-minded and unconventional people. And I'd like to be a part of it 🌎

Interests

A little bit of everything

• arts
• poetry
• cinema
• advertising
• screenwriting

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm actually keen on indie, alternative and hip-hop but you never know what music will give you a positive vibe. That's why I'm trying to mash up my playlist constantly. But if you like Red Hot Chili Peppers or Kendrick Lamar we will definitely find a common language 😊🎧

As for books I prefer modern authors like Chuk Palahniuk. I also like Mayakovskiy and Dovlatov. I'm also keen on historical literature and biographies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2016 summer I was starting every new weekend in another city. We were hitch-hiking with my friend for a couple of months experiencing splendid road trips . That was an amazing experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I study advertising and work in it. That's why I read a lot about storytelling, screenwriting, marketing, psychology, art and design. Moreover being an adman makes you to know a little bit of everything. Therefore I like speaking and especially listening to people. You never know what piece of knowledge will trigger a new idea 💡

Stories (good ones), jokes (not always good 😂) and, of course, cookies!
