Hi! My name is Andrey. I decided to learn a new profession - the traveler. Therefore, folding the essentials in a backpack two, I hit the road. I left my native Ukraine in December 2014. Since then, I have had to go skiing in the Carpathians, visited Russia, Italy, Thailand and spent 7 months in Cambodia. Now plans to travel to ASEAN countries. Further possible North and South America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in the culture of peoples, traditions, cuisine and customs. With pleasure I will visit local temples, museums and national pride. In Cambodia, I was very impressed with the huge Angkor. I am sure each country can be proud of and what should meet during the trip.

Interests

My hobbies - this is what pleases me and develops. I have great pleasure in mastering the Kitesurfing. For me this is a new kind of extreme sport, which combines the strength of the wind, the waves and their own skills. Sports where you can progress and have fun. I love to sing with a guitar and karaoke. In my free time I like a reading. In the traveling, books help to brighten long journeys. In winter really I love skiing and skating. I want to try snow-kiting. Also I love to swim, dive, fishing. I love jogging, yoga, practicing Vipassana meditation. I love to play chess. And I go on bike ride.
