I'm Vitaliy, a solo traveler on my second months of adventure after spending three years closed in Ukraine.

I'm eager to explore the world, people, cultures, and arts, and I aim to find a new home since I can't return to Ukraine.

Maybe I'll find it in Spain, perhaps in Valencia or Alicante.

In my everyday life, I enjoy performing traditional tea ceremonies and playing musical instruments like the guitar and flute, especially jamming with others.

I feel it connects people and creates a powerful energy flow between them.

I love taking photos and videos, often capturing small movie-like clips when I'm inspired. I enjoy deep talks and love feeling alive with every breath.

I'm also vegetarian (I don't eat meat), but I'm not critical of others who do.

Before the pandemic and the war, I traveled using Couchsurfing, and I genuinely believe it's the best way to discover the world.

Life is meditation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, share impressions and experiences, engage in deep conversations, along with spiritual and cultural exchanges.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm truly in love with music and enjoy listening to various genres and bands. I sometimes even try writing my own music on the guitar. ☺️

I love fusion jazz, indie and r&b music, along with spiritual, ambient tunes, and mantras.

I also like books that let me feel the author's passion, love and life story.

Some of my favorite books are:

📕 John Fowles - The Magus
📕 F. Scott Fitzgerald - Tender Is the Night

Movies I enjoy:

🎬 Everything Everywhere All at Once
🎬 Dreamers
🎬 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed the border by climbing over two large fences to become free and begin my journey around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and share some yoga or meditation practices.

If you have a guitar, I'd be happy to play something for you too. :)

I'm open to learning new things and sharing whatever I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my time, knowledge, inner feelings and emotions, experiences, tea, and food.

Nothing is truly mine in this world; I can only hold on to it for a time.
