Hi :) Probably the first thing that people notice about me is that I am very talkative. I like to walk a lot, try new foods (and who doesn't?) and I love to joke around.

The meaning of my life is getting to know people, their personal path, emotions and experiences. The world is very interesting and worth attention)

All my life I have lived in Ukraine, and especially against the background of the war now, I value life even more and have an even greater thirst for it. I strongly believe in traveling, because it gives me inspiration for action and faith in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because walking around a new city is cool, but it's even better to look inside the streets. Plus there is nothing better than a personal recommendation from the host and his description of life in that city/country.

I really like to learn about people and their personal path, passions and thinking, that's why I'm on this social network.

Interests

My main job now is jewelry. I'm on fire with it, I love making jewelry more than even wearing it. I will be happy to look at your personal jewelry collection!) My next love is cats, just a fact.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to love thrillers and arthouse, but now my life in Ukraine has turned into just that. Now I prefer content what evokes pleasant emotions in me, prompts me to think and inspires. What's for sure is that I don't like Marvel...

Again, I love when I am shown the life of a person with all the details of a personal view, tell me a story.
For example, books: "The Kite Runner" and "The Body Keeps the Score"
Movies are so many, it's even impossible to choose, let it be "The lighthouse", "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The coolest thing I did was to quit a well-paying job in IT during the war and completely change my profession and go to study jewelery)

If we talk about the most beautiful place that I have seen, it is Cala Murta in Palma de Mallorca for sure

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I love my job, I will be very happy to talk about precious metals, their extraction, value, about precious stones, natural or not diamonds, etc.

Also I can share my experience of living the war, how we stay positive and move on, I consider it a very valuable experience of my life.

Previously, I worked as an animator, illustrator and photographer, which also left an imprint on my personality.
