CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy what I'm doing, when I'm doing it, with whom I'm doing it.

ABOUT ME

Former Peace Corps volunteer who never left Ukraine. Now in the hospitality business as a chef/bartender with two venues that I co-own. I love living here and traveling around the country and region whenever I get the chance. Always interested in meeting new people, showing them around or being shown around their neighborhood.

PHILOSOPHY

Um...I was a philosophy major in college, does that count?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly by hosting - I love having folks from different parts of the world come by, it's like traveling in its own way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, Peace Corps gave me the opportunity to couchsurf in every oblast of Ukraine)) Before that I spent some time driving around the states, visiting friends and crashing on their couches. Now I'm returning the favor.

Interests

So I'm in the hospitality business (bars and restaurants)...basically I spend all of my time either making things for guests or testing things on myself. If you like food and drink, we'll find something to share.

• cocktails

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recent amazing thing: crossing Vietnam on a motorcycle. It was an incredible experience and I'd recommend it to anyone who happens to be over in that part of the world.
