I'm 23, originally from Ukraine, Kyiv.

Due to the Russian invasion, I had to move from my home and now I moved to Ireland.
But I decided that can use those opportunities that the world giving me now.
So at the moment, before my studies in university started, I came to Portugal to explore this gorgeous country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like opening new countries and towns by local people. Opening new people, cultures, and traditions - is one of the main goals for me during my travels.

Interests

I’m a little bit physicist (received a bachelor's degree in astrophysics), and now getting my second Bachelor in the field of marine biology.

Adore hiking, traveling and exploring our planet.
I believe that the world is open to you if you are open to the world :)
Can't imagine my life without hiking in the mountains and swimming in the sea. Love doing all the types of sports and active lifestyles. Also, I play the domra and ukulele.
One day I will buy a van and will be traveling all around the world with my cat in this van.

Music, Movies, and Books

Don’t watch a lot, but I like “The Stranger Things”

I’m a music lover, so I like a lot of things from Pink Floyd and the Beatles to Billie Eilish and Kanye West, or Rammstein, or Three Days Grace., so I love a lot and sure that we could find something common:)

My preferences in books depend on my mood and life periods, but I love reading about psychology, biology, and adventures. The most favorite writers are Steven King and Mark Levi I suppose. But as I said it always depends. Now read “Game of Thrones”
