ABOUT ME

Quite sociable, sometimes talkative. Sometimes nerdy. Kind, ironic, sincere, free-wheeling.

PHILOSOPHY

Basically - christian humanism, but with some later influences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sight-seeing, couching? No problems at all, when I'm in town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with my friends once at very nice person's place. Hope we were not too loud.

Interests

Talking, reading, travelling, playing music and singing (frankly I'm not good in singing, but who cares?;)), helping people, programming, drinking.

Also I'm very interested in:
- poetry (ukrainian, american, russian, french especially) and literature at all,
- DIY music (from early hardcore punk to 90's emo),
- ecological and human rights movements

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First, and the most amazing thing: night hitchhiking from the Ukrainian-Polish border to Lviv (with unexpected acquaintances and talks).
Second and third things: unbelievably warm and friendly punk gigs in Zhytomyr in August and December of 2011.
Maybe the last thing this time: sight-seeing in Krasyliv and Khmelnytsky with my friend Vitalik. It was about soviet architecture and alcohol.
