About Me

I hope my way begins here with you, couchsurfers.
****
Sooo where should I start? Basically, I distinguish two parts of every "about myself". There are facts. And there is philosophy. Usually facts are the result of the philosophy. But you never know:)
****
So some facts.
I was born in Ukraine. I've lived in its capital for three years, studying at the university. Actually, I'm still studying there but i'm getting distance education. But I decided to move on. I've got a good opportunity to start my second life and I seized it.
I moved to Czech Republic in April 2018. This April became the date of my new born (aren't these the words from the 'philosophy part'?). Anyway, now I'm living in CR. I'm working here and thinking a lot.
Frankly speaking, I'm feeling better here. I got rid of the major part of the boundaries which I kept in my head before. I've changed dramatically my worldview . An amazing feeling, isn't it? You have to understand. New lands change.
I'm learning Czech language intensively. So I'm afraid I've forgotten English a lil' bit. But I've found out that I'm keen on languages. They can show a lot about country, its people and culture. I'd love to learn as much languages as I can.
****
And a little bit of my philosophy.
I've came to one idea just when I arrived to CR. I call it 'alive reincarnation'. You can live a lot of lives simply in one. You can die and reborn... being still alive. Like a phoenix? I don't know how it happens in lives of phoenix, but I know how it happened in mine. I believe, I'm living the second life. Czech life. I appeared to be Czech in my second life:) So the main idea is new land - new life. And the most amazing is that you can be anyone in your next life. It's up to you.
It's just a small part of my philosophy which is my faith. There is a lot to discuss, of course, if you'd want:)
****
BUT DON'T BE SCARED.
I am funny and easy-going:) I can leave philosophy for someone else. I can joke good jokes, hoonestly:D I like to laugh even about things which are not funny at all. I believe that humour is one of those things which does not have limits.
And I love people. So, initially, I love you, dear patient reader (of course, if you've read until the very end of my discription:D).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard there is a lot of truly amazing people around the world! I'd love to meet you. I'd like to hear your stories, to live your life and share with you everything.
I heard there is a lot of places. I heard globe is so enormous and there is so much to see. I'd love to see you, the Earth.
To make the long story short, I want couchsurfing to become my genuine education.

Interests

*. I’m interested in warm magical conversations.
*. Not a long time ago I started making some attempts in lettering. I suppose I manage in it. Sometimes:) I’d love to learn painting. So I could paint the world that is in my head.
*. I love good live photos. Though I’m not good in photography. I believe photography is like painting. You can show the world from the different points of view.
*. I love wine. And good people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now there is Scorpions singing “Born to touch your feelings” song in my headphones. But it doesn't mean anything. I don't limit myself in listening to specific genres or watching specific films. I am open to new genres and I love synthesis of some of them.
But I should tell you some artists from my playlist, though. Maybe you know some of them, maybe you'll gonna listen to them in future and think of me. Who knows. So look, there are the Beatles, dandelion hands, some songs by Kings of Leon, also Lebanon Hanover, Scorpions, The last shadow puppets, Pink Floyd, Placebo..
****
Films? I prefer thrillers or simply films with unpredictable scenario. I love films, that give you emotions. But, nevertheless, I watch films very rarely:)
****
I love to read books. I believe, it's an amazing feeling to be the director of a film inside of your head. You can imagine every person, every location, every thing. Love it. I also prefer books about self-education. At the moment I'm reading Erich Fromm’s “Art of love”. So satisfied;) I also love Stephen King books and I used to be crazy about Harry Potter seria.

What I Can Share with Hosts

There is some good warm stories in my head. Regardless, that I have a little experience in travelling. I can tell you about hiking in Ukrainian mountains, about my native culture and its people. I can tell you about rock music festivals held in Ukraine. I can tell you about the universe in my head. I can talk a lot. If you want to listen.
