I’m an Ukrainian photographer, live in Kyiv with my wife, Anastasiia Pinchuk, and two kids, 5 and 9 years old. We both love traveling and discovering new places, cultures, people and their traditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to have a backup option in some of my travel locations for short stops, from 1 to 3 nights. Currently, my wife and me are planning a pilgrim trip through the Way of St.James, and would be happy to have a chance to stay for 1 night at some local host’s house by our way.
