About Me

In 2018 I went Camino de Santiago from Porto, 230 km in 11 days. It was a magical journey, that inspired me to follow my dream and to go to Asia. I was completely sure that I don't want to work as a doctor anymore, so I was trying to figure out what do I want.
So I bought one way ticket to India and the journey started...
For a year I was traveling from India to Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Volunteering on the way, taking two Vipassanas to seek for some answers.
In Cambodia I've volunteered in the rural school and realized that I love to work with children. So I continued to do so in Vietnam.
Later on I found Montessori method and fell in love with it. So since 2019 I'm exploring Montessori.
I'm passionate about dancing and percussion. Love psychology, nature, tea ceremony and everything that is connected to slowing down.It's very hard in our time to slow down and be really careful about your environment, yourself and your connections. I'm trying my best ❤️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

World is full of good people, full of coincidences and I believe that the Universe helps you if you are brave enough to listen to its signs and to explore. CS is the way to explore 🙂
Each of us is just a small detail in a big world, but when we are connected we can change the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: it depends on mood, but i looooove british sound
Movies: my favourite director is Pedro Almodovar, but also i love Tarantino movies, Star Wars, Hitchcock and european movies
Books: all my life is about psychological and educational literature, but I also like positive classic, like Chicken soup for soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been an active participant of the Revolution of Dignity in 2013-2014 and since the escalation of the war I'm volunteering in the medical field online. At the same time I've established NGO Montessori UA, that is taking care of the Montessori educators of Ukraine.
