CURRENT MISSION
Discovering myself while discovering the world and other people and cultures. I'm in search of my vocation.

One important reminder : I don't search any love relations or affairs here and I'm happy in relations with my boyfriend.

ABOUT ME
I'm open-minded, optimistic and sociable. I adore travelling, although I can't say that I've travelled really a lot by now, but the great journeys are ahead :) Another my passion is culture. I enjoy trying new dishes, listening to new music, visiting new and unusual places, trying something for the first time and especially - overcoming my fears and destroying my prejudices. I love to meet new people and get to know them. I appreciate long and in-depth conversations about everything, especially culture, travelling, volunteering, learning languages, psychology, literature, music, films...) I'm really fond of languages - they are my hobby, my profession and my work! I'll be happy to teach you Ukrainian or Russian words and phrases and with pleasure I'll try to learn something in your language!

PHILOSOPHY; FAVOURITE LIFE QUOTES
Strength is not the absence of weakness but how we wrestle with our weakness. (c)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. (c)

Nothing ever happens by chance. Everything happens for a reason. Your brain may not know the reason. Your brain may never figure it out. But your heart knows. Your heart always knows.— Tracy Hickman

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human. (c)

People think dreams aren’t real just because they aren’t made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes. — Neil Gaiman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I love travelling and meeting people, I think Couchsurfing is a unique opportunity. Going to some place is already amazing, but discovering these places with locals is even more exciting. I suppose you can have a real impression of the country only either by living there for quite a long time or by speaking to people who live there, visiting some special spots that make this place particular to them, seeing the cities from their perspective and sharing. Sharing is one of the most important points, I think. Couchsurfing is about sharing your knowledge, your experience, your culture with another person in order to become richer, wiser, more tolerant towards others and yourself. And it's what I seek from this experience and I'm ready to give in exchange.
