Ukrainian, 25, currently based in Kyiv, where I work as a consultant. I enjoy traveling and meeting new people, learning foreign languages and exploring cultures. Traveling is for me is much more than an possibility to escape my usual environment, it is an opportunity to dive into a foreign culture, meet new people, and exchange experiences. When going abroad, I try to abstain from hotels and rooms for rent, as I believe Couchsurfing and local hosts offer a greater possibility to experience a country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am passionate about traveling, exploring other countries and cultures, meeting new people and making friends from all over the world.
