Hey there, my future friends from all around the world!
Excited to meet you all, but please include word "PAJAMAS" in your request so that I know you actually read it!

Anyway, hi again, thanks for reading this far ☺️
Nice to meet you, I'm Sasha, easy going guy, still looking for that one thing I could dedicate my life. Lot of people say I am good listener, my grandma says I am handsome, Groot says "I am Groot" (which means "Sasha is super chill, one of the best hosts in Kyiv and couchsurfers in the world").

~Wherever you are, be there~

Don't think about having to wash the dishes while eating, don't pick your phone while on a date with this gorgeous lady. Wherever you are, be there, in that exact moment. Don't rush the things or think too far ahead, just enjoy yourself in this very moment.

~Make the most of yourself~

In any situation try to make your personal best. You may finish last, but that doesn't matter if you know you've done your best. You may even finish first, everyone salutes you, but you don't feel that happy inside as you know you haven't done your personal best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first used CS in 2017 in US and since then it's my preferred way of traveling.
I would never get to meet the most beautiful human souls if this service called Couchsurfing didn't exist

However basic it sounds, but you get to know city/country better while staying with locals. That's why always send requests while traveling to people who were born and raised in city where I am going

Music, Movies, and Books

Can talk for hours about movies, seriously. Hard to pick one or two favourite, but let it be Forrest Gump, Fight Club, Annie Hall and Interstellar. This year discovered Xavier Dolan and immediately fell in love with his movies. Love almost all movies shot by Fincher, Nolan, Ritchie, Anderson, Tarantino, Scorsese, Coen brothers and Woody Allen.

Like reading horrors, though last years reading more scientific literature and articles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran half marathon 21.0975 km
Jumped six handsprings and a backflip in a row

Walked the longest and highest glass bridge in the world, rode the highest elevator and longest cable car in the world (all in Zhangjiajie)
