I enjoy speaking and listening to foreign languages. My mother tongue is Ukrainian. I am also fluent in English, French and Russian. If you speak slowly and are patient with me, we can have a conversation in German too.
I draw my inspiration from people and their stories… Also from the new cities. I believe, it’s better to stay 3 days in one city rather than see 3 cities in 3 days!
I work in a number of areas (teaching, interpreting, translation, IT sales). What I like about all of them is that I get to meet new people, help them grow or develop, and make friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the idea of Couchsurfing. I've met some people who I now consider my friends. Thanks to them, I learned what kindness, hospitality and kindness are.

"I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake" (Robert Louis Stevenson)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going on a two week road trip (4 people and a puppy in one car) on Christmas – around the Baltic countries.
Visiting a real Finnish sauna! Then diving in a frozen lake in winter in Finland.
