Heyyy! I’m a student, social activist, volunteer and just an open-minded person :)

I like to do different activities such as hiking, snowboarding, surfing, in past was a professional tennis player (before injury).

Like cooking, travelling, discovering new places and meet like-minded people all over the world :)

I started travel from childhood. After visiting almost whole Europe, decided to land in Switzerland. I had an internship at CERN (Hadron Collider in Geneva), where I did my first serious research project. After, I went to university - ETH Zurich, where now I am a Masters student in Data Science.

In my ordinary life I used to do a lot of volunteering work.
I’m a director of a charity organisation which helps homeless animals, based in Ukraine, city of Odessa, where we have a mini-shelter and I’m working on extending of this project every day. I like animals and try to help them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet like-minded people from all over the world, learn about theirs life experience and bring something new to them from my side.

Interests

I like to get additional knowledge regarding my studies. I finished bachelor in Computer Science at Polytechnic University, and in parallel another bachelor at Economic University in Finance and Stock Market. Now I’m a master’s student, I have an active life actually. Really want to discover as much as possible new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have been a lead-volunteer in evacuation operations from
hot-points in Ukraine for homeless animals, animals from zoos and eco-parks, affected by the war. With a team we evacuated a lot of animals to Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to absorb everything new.
From my side, I’m open to share my experience of being part of the biggest scientific organisation in the world such as CERN, my own experience about the war in my my country, can teach you how to cook really good Ukrainian dishes, how to do two bachelors in parallel and a lot of interesting things. Also I like to spend evening cooking something tasty, talking about everything and drinking beer or wine :)
