Hey!

My name is Olexiy and I'm originally from Ukraine. For the past ten years I've been living in America. This year I finally decided to see the world. So far I got Greece (Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete, Santorini), Germany (Berlin, Dresden), Czech Republic (Prague) and St. Petersburg (Russia), where I've been staying for the past few months!

I'm an actor and a beginner screenwrtier and director. I'm honest and responsible, but I'm always up for a good time. Not a huge fan of loud music and strobe lights. A chill bar with some friends, or an outdoor BBQ is more of my thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My gf and I are going to visit Norway this August and we thought that this would be a cool thing to try. This way we could meet new cool people, experience a different culture firsthand and get cool experiences!
