Living in Budapest for the last 5 years. If you need any suggestions about the place let me know. Unfortunately not hosting these days because my mom fled Ukraine and staying with me :)

As they say I am a queer Ukrainian artist . designer . architect and simply creative person internally :)) working as a graphic designer and trying to create useful things for people and for the soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore architecture and art museums all over the World to analyze and learn. Maybe i can bring something new to my country or even to the world, who knows ;)

The main reason why I am traveling around the world is to understand and compare the cultures, mentalities and architectural environment which people live in.

(wrote it in 2015, but will leave it here)
