I am an architect having my own office in Kyiv (www.zemlia.co). Besides, I try to dedicate some time for writing music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Coachsurfing for me is the way to share positive emotions and culture, as well as communicate and become mentally richer. It's a way to see the same people ready to spread bright ideas and love. It is also the way to conceive the diversity and uniqueness of places and people.

Interests

I try to renew writing and playing music. I am interested in contemporary art and philosophy trends, as well as the latest scientific news. I'm deeply interested in ecology, ecological architecture and sustainable landscapes

Music, Movies, and Books

I am reading books mostly on self-development, architecture, ecology and philosophy. Recently I've read a book on Elon Musk.
Concerning music, I listen mostly classic music, soundtracks, Ukrainian music, indie rock and British rock from 1960s till nowadays.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I succeeded in changing myself and becoming a different person

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Russian or Ukrainian and tell the best things to visit in Ukraine or Kyiv. Also I can host you!
I can speak on art, architecture, ecology, philosophy, countries, cities, music and other topics for hours (I hope :))

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer interesting and true stories about Ukraine, cook some traditional Ukrainian food (we will do it with my girlfriend).
Also you will see a Germany-born Ukrainian :).
I speak English quite fluently and can keep conversation almost on any topic having a wide range of various interests.
I and my girlfriend can bring you a local souvenir, e.g., a picture of Kyiv (made with our own hand) or draw your portrait :).
If you play music instruments, we can jam together! I play piano and drums.
