CURRENT MISSION

After six months teaching salsa in China, I'm taking two months to travel around Asia, discover new places and dance with as many new people as I can!

ABOUT ME

I'm a citizen of the world, as cliché as that may sound. Born in Ukraine, I grew up in Belgium and am definitely French in my heart, with no real ties anywhere, ready and eager to explore new people and cultures. That's why I chose bar-tending as a job, to be able to do it anywhere, and always meet new people. But for the last few years, the one passion that really motivates me is dance : salsa, bachata, kizomba, zouk, merengue,... I never feel as much alive as on that dancefloor, sharing a dance and a smile with my partner.

PHILOSOPHY

Happy? Great, it's the perfect mood to dance! Sad? Then it definitely is time for a dance to get out of it.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Paris is a tough city, I've always lived in tiny appartements, so I only host friends for the moment as we usually have to sleep in the same bed. I'll definitely be sharing my couch as soon as I get into someplace bigger, though!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In my childhood, I was used to sleeping around in friends' or family's homes when I travelled, and this thus feels very natural to me. I've had only one CS experience so far, a few years ago that went very well in the south of France.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Organising the Paris International Salsa Congress is a new and bigger challenge every year, but it's absolutely worth it to see so many people get together to have the best time of their lives!

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Salsa dancing is my passion, and the only thing I enjoy as much as dancing is sharing that fire with other people and teaching those that want to learn to the extent of my abilities!
