I am a young designer/architect from Kyiv, Ukraine. I'm fun to hang around with. Educated but not a snob:) I am welcoming, tolerant and friendly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people from different countries is my way to understand the world. I would also like to show my country and home city to people in hope they love it like I do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned how to swim at the age of 32.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to ride a motorcycle and how to weld:) how to sketch or do prints on t-shirts, or solder a tiny robot, or lasercut or make useless beautiful things. I like learning new languages and words or anything else you can teach.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my love for the city I live in and will try to show it at its best. Good company also.
