CURRENT MISSION

I'm looking for miracles everywhere in the world (visited >20 countries) and trying to create them by myself :)

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded, energetic and outgoing person with active lifestyle. You know, some people just can't live a quiet life)) I have worked for a main ukrainian TV channel as a news reporter for three years, and it was a crazy experience:)) now I write stories and draw illustrations. And travel a lot. I really love meeting new oeople from around the world, so you're really welcome!

At this moment I can't offer you a couch, but I can show you a city, tell interesting stories about Kiev. Especially, mystical, huh)). I'm quite a foodie, so I can easily advise you about nice places to eat smth special in Kiev)).

I speak Russian, Ukrainian and English (at least my IELTS results 7/9 say that I speak!:). Currently I'm into studying German language ))

//If you've heard about MBTI-typology (Myers/Briggs), I'm an ENFP-type from there//

PHILOSOPHY

I think the most important human quality is a tolerance. IMHO your freedom ends where someone else's begins and it's ok. Just do what you want if it doesn't hurt anyone. We have so different lives, interests, cultures, etc, so the best way to understand each other is to be tolerant and loyal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm with CS for a long time for now. But I wasn't ab active member of community. Despite I travel a lot, mostly I stay with airbnb, because I don't want to be a burden to someone)) (yep, I know that CS is a chance and not a burden at all, but still)) But this overall experience of exploring new city from prospective of a local person (even with airbnb) is exciting! So I decided to review my old CS-profile and to give it a new life:-)

Interests

Oh my...)) that's a looong list))

I'm a journalist, a writer and a blogger, so I really have a passion for writing and reading. Probably if I wasn't so outgoing, I would spent all my life reading the books)) I prefer the fantasy genre... or mystics... or business:)) My favourite authors are Niel Gayman, Laurelle K. Hamilton, Lewis Carroll, Clive Lewis, Frank Herbert, Ray Bradbury, Lisa J. Smith, etc., etc.

Also I'm a dancer and that's important part of my life)) I've got at least 6 trainings in a week, heh)) For a few years I've been studying painting and loove it!)
