About Me

Hi! I'm an activist and cultural manager (somehow) . Together with my friends I run art platform in Mariupol. We try to make Mariupol queer and weird. Some people say I'm nice and open-minded. I try to be optimistic and do not concentrate on negative sides of life but sometimes I fail.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find Couchsurfing a very nice way to get to know the culture and people. Moreover it is amazing that people are so open to help.

Interests

A year ago I found out what activism is, so now I am trying to make the world a little bit better than it is.

Besides, I try to write and translate some texts. And film photography.
