CURRENT MISSION

To follow the way of happiness.

ABOUT ME

I was born and grew up in Kiev, Ukraine and I've just came back from the US where I lived last 2 year as an AuPair. Now I'm kind of about to start a new life, to renovate my place, to find a new job and start preparing to a new big trip. Reading Kerouac inspires me.
Upd.: Ha-ha-ha, I've screwed up my own plans by choosing to spend this winter in India, instead working in Kiev=)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's great way to meet people from different countries without leaving my flat!

I like helping people, it cleanse my karma =)

Music, Movies, and Books

I really can't choose just a few, because I like different types of music, films and literature.

I can't live a day without listening to music. Baroque music and 19th-century classical music, rock and heavy metal, psytrance and dubstep, rap and folk, reggae and ragga jungle - I love it all!

What can I say about books?
I read a lot. Dostoevsky and Osho, Rowling and Tolkien, Akhmatova and Brodsky, Kerouac and Bradbury, Bible and Quran, Gogol and Wilde, Heinlein and Blavatskaya.

I won't write about movies, because I have not so much free space =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking trip round the US in one month, from the East Coast to the West Coast and back.

Teach, Learn, Share
