I'm an online English teacher who thrives on the adventure of travel, exploring fascinating historical sites and breathtaking natural places. I have a passion for connecting with curious, open-minded individuals.

* I need to warn you ⚠️. I live in a village 5 km away from Batumi. I live on top of the mountain in a big house 🏡 with my mother. We are Ukrainian war refugees. We survived the war but lost our house back in Ukraine 🇺🇦. My mother works online as a psychologist👩‍⚕️. She is 52 years old (I am 32). She is learning English and trying to use it. If you talk with her in English that would be great! We have a wonderful view on Batumi and the mountains. The house has round balcony, 3 separate entrances and extra room for guests. Also, we have a personal driver so we will be able to visit wonderful places outside of Batumi: mountains, castles and waterfalls and when you finish your stay he will deliver you where you need the bus/train station.

** If you agree to stay in my house I’ll meet you in Batumi when you arrive, we eat🍽️ and walk around city center and go to my village (20 minutes by car). In the evenings we usually busy working online. You can have a shower and rest in your room then we have a dinner on the balcony, talk and watch the sunset 🌅. Next day we can go to Batumi or visit great nature places: parks, mountains🏞️, ruins or waterfalls outside of the city.

*** Our village is safe and very beautiful 🤩. There is also ancient church and nunnery. Many tourists go here to see the view from our mountain. If you like we could go for a walk around our village to see beautiful houses, gardens, flowers, rivers and waterfalls, big trees 🌲 and palms 🌴, mandarin🍊, kiwi 🥝, orange, fig and lemon 🍋 trees. Also, wondering cows 🐄, say hello to local people, try local wine 🍷, cheese 🧀 and honey 🍯

*** Some people ask me how much do I charge for hosting and dinner 😅😂. I don’t charge anything. I don’t expect any presents from you. First time I’ve tried this app 10 years ago and I understand the spirit of Couchsurfing very well. We are all one big family here. I just happy to have interesting people with a good vibe at my house. It gives me motivation and good mood :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Harry Potter 🪄, LOTR , GoT, Dune 🪐, 3 body problem. I really like to watch movies and read books. There are too many to write here. If you like movies & books too I’d be happy to talk about it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Adopted and civilised a wild mountain cat 🐈
During my student years, I’ve organised for free hundreds of language exchange meetings, excursions and parties for my fellow Couchsurfing friends. Also, now I organise for free hiking 🥾 trips to the mountains around Batumi.

Teach, Learn, Share

Language exchange, I’d like to learn a few words from your language. I’d be happy to help you improve your English. Also, we could cook sushi 🍱 together. I can tell you a lot of useful information about travelling in Georgia 🇬🇪

What I Can Share with Hosts

Free transportation. I like to cook and happy to share :) You will try 🇺🇦 Borsch🍲 and 🇬🇪 Khachapuri 🍕. We could go for a run 🏃🏃‍♀️ or hiking around my village
