Now I’m a student and studying to become a football coach (although it’s hard to call it studying, I’m just taking online exams). my fiancée Tina graduated as a chef and designer and has many talents. We are both calm, but I was probably a very calm child from a very early age. I played football since childhood and was interested in biology, history and politics, now I’ve really become a little dumb and stopped reading so much, but I’m still just as calm and can carry on a conversation on any topic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel and are always happy to exchange ideas with new interesting people. We got here through the travel program Eagle and Reshka, when we were in the Netherlands, on our first trip, our friends cheated us a little, they promised a bed, but upon arrival there was no room for us, so we were forced to look for something new, but there was no money as usual, very little, I remembered about couchsurfing from that very program and that’s how we got here. Now we have been in Germany for a year and a half already, we have visited almost all of Germany, more than 40 cities, but besides Germany and the Netherlands we have hardly been anywhere, so we need to fix this.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is "State and Revolution" and Tina's is "Gone with the Wind".
Favorite films: Lay low in Bruges and Interstellar

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1.We traveled without a ticket from Amsterdam, through the whole of Germany to Warsaw by train, more than once running from the controller on the train(

2.In Ukraine, at some point during the war, Tina and I lived in different parts of the country and did not see each other for a long time, when I could wait no longer, I convinced Tina to move to Kyiv. But I had to travel across the whole country twice when anarchy was happening around me. and that time when I went to pick her up from home, she couldn’t convince her parents to let her go (Tina’s father was formerly the “godfather” of all Nikolaev, and her brother was in the military), we agreed that she would run away and when the opportunity arose and she was able to leave It was already evening from home, there was no public transport or anything that could take us away from her small town on the shores of the Black Sea, and at that moment there was a military situation around and it was just dangerous to even walk on the street. Tina’s phone was broken, and mine had run out of charge, so we only had a poorly working push-button phone, so we couldn’t even order a taxi, so we decided to at least get through the checkpoints to the city itself, while we were walking they offered to help us get to the city. we sat down, everything was calm, but a military man was driving along with a woman, they first talked to me, but when they started talking to Tina, she, due to the fact that she was very worried, did not answer very confidently, the military man closed the doors, threatened with a weapon and decided to take me us to check Tina for drugs, we were able to convince him that everything was fine, but after that he, in complete darkness and along dead Ukrainian roads, took us to his friend in some village, at a speed of 200 km/h, there we already met his friend under constant jokes that we would be buried, but upon arrival we were given a little food and offered a drink, after which he said that he would give us a house at his recreation center, and in the morning he would take us on the first bus to the large city of Odessa, from where we could get to Kyiv. and when we went to his base, it turned out to be a neighboring base of Tina’s house, from where she escaped today, but luckily everything worked out, except that Tina’s brother was looking for us, whom we met in Odessa and there I already managed to convince him to let us go. it was really reckless and stupid, but since then Tina and I have been living together for two years and will soon get married)

Teach, Learn, Share
