!PLEASE READ!
-I am NOT interested in meeting, hosting or being hosted by people , who are rascist, homophobic or misoginistic. I enjoy open minded, respectful and friendly people. Life's too short for hate.
-Couchsurfing is NOT a dating app. Please only message me when you‘re willing to make your or my stay a friendly encounter :) I love people. I love being open. But I don't want to feel unsafe and meet people with any ulterior motives. Lets respect each others boundaries.

FOR TRAVELERS
○ If you message me to meet up or be hosted in Kyiv, please write a personalized message. I don't respond to copypaste messages. I understand that you need to text multiple people to get hosted, i'm a couchsurfer too. However, I’d like to make genuine connections! So request to stay or hang out if you think we can connect!
○ Calling me by my name is a great start. Would you let a stranger who doesn't even bother to address you by your name stay in your home?
○ Text me your favourite song at the moment, so i know you took the time to read this.

FOR HOSTS
I appreciate how much work goes into hosting. Therefore, I always go out of my way to keep everything as convinient as possible for my host. I'm also down to do any household chores or shopping for you. Just let me know if you need any help!
I love connecting with my host and when they have time I am more than happy to spend it together. The best parts of my past trips, are the people who hosted me, their stories, and their kindness. I am interested in learning about you lifestyle, as well as participating in it. I enjoy deep, meaningful conversations, which I find sometimes difficult to come by.
Having said this, I also don't expect my host to babysit me - i can definitely mind my own business and I'll be grateful just for you letting me stay at your place. I understand, that you may not want to see your city's main attractions for the 100th time and you won't join me on my touristy ventures! I'm totally cool with that.
Feel free to tell me about any rules in your home.

ABOUT ME
I'm not just interested in doing touristy stuff. I like to see what is real: from castles to slums, luxury to poverty, any country on earth or any culture , under the surface of all the oceans to the summits of the highest mountains .
P.S. I struggle with social anxiety, so i hope you understand if it takes me some time to open up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. I love how this platform is not driven by money, and relies solely on solidarity among travellers and high interpersonal trust. That's very rare and precious in a money-driven world.
I like this much better than commercial hospitality, and distant , impersonal connection you make that way. I'm forever touched by the hospitality I've received from CS hosts during my travels.
2. Growth and personal development are really important to me, and traveling is a great way to learn about other cultures, perspectives, myself, and the world in general.
