Nowadays I live in Kyiv. I moved here 4 years ago to study international tourism at the university.
.
I love Geography in almost all of its forms. I am curious about the culture, architecture, history, and definitely the philosophy of other countries.

Occasionally, I like hiking in the mountings or in the countryside. But since most of the time I'm in the city I replace this hobby with long walking or cycling around. I prefer walking fast, so if we'll go on a tour around the city be ready to walk a lot :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like learning about different cultures. I like the quote "a nation's culture resides in the hearts and in souls of its people", so I really cherish opportunity to meet people from diverse communities.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm quite eclectic about the music styles.
.
Based on the songs I usually listen to, it's pop-music or alternative rock. But it depends: sometimes I can get hooked on old 80s or 90s repertoire or even older.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experience of extreme zip-lining in Caucasus mountings, in Armenia. Just imagine: late October, densely wooded colorful mountings, a 750 meters abyss, where you jump on a 1.5 min ride! That was unforgettable.

I can teach some things about alternative coffee brewing method of AeroPress. I'am third wave coffee lover.
