About Me

[I host in Madrid 😉]

Hey, I'm Serge or Sergio as you wish, I was born in Kyiv (Ukraine), but currently, I live in Madrid (Spain) 👌

I'm very passionate about travel 🎒 Since I'm very curious about everything new, I like to explore new places, admiring the diversity of this world :) Another thing that I like is the cinema 🎥 I used to write cinema reviews, participate in different cinema festivals (in 2018 I visited Cannes), and run events in the Cinema Club. I've watched maybe more than 2000+ movies, so I can recommend you what to watch based on your preferences. The third thing that I like is taking photos, so I might share some experiences or I can even take some photos of you 📷 Also I'm into cycling, especially I like night rides when roads are free 🚲

I would love to know more about your culture, and learn your language and lifestyle. I like to explore city sights as well as nature. Likewise, I believe, the more different people we meet, the richer we are 😌

🌍 Roll'n'Rock
📍 Now in: Madrid 🇪🇸
🚙 Hitchhiking: 22 521 km
🏁 Countries: 29
❤️ Places, people, stories, impressions

I'm not a gay, but I don't define people by their sexual orientation. We still can meet, have a walk and grab some beer afterwards.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to discover the places I've never been before and meet interesting people from all over the world to explore more about different cultures, countries, their features and to share everything about my own country, if somebody is interested 🤝

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I believe, there are always good things in almost all genres, but I prefer rock and metal (especially old school) 🎸 Depending on my mood I may listen to jazz and blues, rap and hip-hop, trap, dubstep and other kinds of electronic music, country and chanson [французький, альо 😂], as well as classical music 🎧

Movies and TV-shows:
I have a lot of favorite movies and series in different genres from art house to mainstream 📺

Books:
Jerome David Salinger - The Catcher in the Rye
Erich Maria Remarque - Three Comrades
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - The Little Prince

In general, I am more into reading about real facts 📚

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Jumped with a parachute (800 m)
- Jumped from the highest bridge in Ukraine (~54 m) with a rope
- Hitchhiked from Kyiv to Cannes, France and back to Ukraine
- Successfully completed a travel challenge of the hitchhiking trip from Bratislava, Slovakia to Brussels (and Charleroi), Belgium through 7 countries with the budget of only €100 for 18 days (€36 for the 3 flights + €17,33 for the souvenirs for my friends and me + €44,70 for everything else = €98,03)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you or share tips on:
- Ukrainian and the basics of Spanish 🗣️
- How to juggle with 3 or 4 balls 🤹
- Tips on taking photos and posing in front of the camera 📸

I studied the history of film, so we can discuss it as well 🎞️

I'm curious about:
- Learning your language (at least the basics)
- Stories from your trips
- History, features and lifestyle of your culture and homeland

It would be my pleasure to share:
- Sightseeing tips for the places I lived or visited 🏰
- Travel tips, like low-costs flights and hitchhiking 👍
- Stories from my travels, including hitchhiking and Couchsurfing 🙈
