I'm a freelance translator, but I'd rather be a hippie. I like tents, beaches, nature, arts, museums, galleries, street art, music and everything ethno, travels and festivals, creative people and dreadlocks. I can cook Ukrainian borshch, no other talents.

Taking a break now from Ukrainian revolution and war to repair my nerves a bit by traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because everyone's here.
