I love to travel and want to see most of the world, meet other people and learn from their culture.
I like going to concerts and festivals. . I am a third year student of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in computer science.
I am constantly developing my knowledge of information technology. I am sure that will make a significant contribution to the future, because my country is now on the way of transferring the manual system to computerization in all sectors. My country is young, my people are experiencing quite difficult times, but we are developing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As for me, it is a nice bridge to get to know other people and local life.
I want to meet new friends and to have a practice in my languages.
If I travel, I don't want to use only standard ways, I want to know peoples and their life and I think I can find it on CS.
