been brought up in Ukraine, studied psychology, journalism and advertising in England for a few years, owned a vegan art bar in Kiev, been places, done stuff. My path of self exploration have brought me to Nepal, what's to come is yet to come.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I want to do a vipassana course near Pokhara on 1-10 of December. I've lived in Kathmandu for almost a month now and need to make a move (it's getting too cold here!). I am going to be on my own for the first time in quite a while. Would be nice to crash someone's friendly couch for some time one my journey begins.

Centres d'intérêt

I read compulsively, am interested in psychology and spirituality in it's various forms. I rediscover piano music after a long brake. I write clumsy, somewhat therapeutic poetry. I do yoga and would enjoy a run in a park. I am deeply attached to nature (human, cosmic). I love tea, coffee and various herbs, and am interested in foods, though vegetarian.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I love fast fingered pianists and cello is my favorite instrument. Jazz and Blues, classics and modern, are currently on my iTunes. But I am very opened to various sounds.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

My bar! imagine a small basement bar in downtown Kiev with Lynch's Twin Peaks themed interior, cherry cider, then delicious (and all vegan) foods (that banana-whiskey-coconut Maybe baby desert would melt on your tongue, and little barbecue bites would sell all day long), walls are an ever-changing display of underground artists, Saturday nights with live techno till the morning that would suddenly be interrupted by some mad saxophonist jumping on a chair playing to a dj's beat, or social media lecture on Thursday night, or just a friendly tea party till the sun rises on Monday...ahh don't get me started on the bar

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I thought English in the past, and would be interested in teaching Russian or Ukrainian for sure) I have a recent thing for Spanish, so could use a lesson myself)

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Stories, poems, questions, walks.
I believe I have a good taste and some skill in vegetarian cooking,
make funky tea and fine black coffe.
i don't mind house work as well and would say I am a quiet person in a sense that I do hold my personal space
