Hi dear travelers!
There are a few words about who I am.

There are two the most crazy things I have done in my life: 3-month motorbike trip through Indian Himalayas and hitchhiking from Paris to cold Normandie at northern France, on the way to La Manche.

My heart and mind are open to the world, people and new adventures.
I have 3 passions in my life: writing, dancing, travelling and my job that combines all of them. I work as a marketing specialist for a brand that creates a smart clock for a smart home.

At my leisure I like to write poetry and prose, I have my own blog (https://anda-withmyeyes.blogspot.com/) and (you will not believe!!!) but I am also a contemporary dance artist and often participate at the interesting events in my city and country.
I love Art, maybe it's because I live in the most poetic city in Ukraine - Lviv. Here, at my city I live on the verge of two worlds - bohemian and information technology (IT). Most of my friends are artists, painters, actors or, on the contrary, programmers and IT developers. But I like this crazy combination, why not to try to combine incompatible, why not to experiment?

I like yoga, snowboarding, salsa, cooking, mountains, Asian culture and much more.
I would be pleased to get acquainted with you - people from around the world, listen to the stories about your culture and adventures and would be happy to share also my experience.
So, nice to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to join a multifaceted community of travelers who would like to support each others and share their experience with others.
I have been hosted by a couchsurfer even in India, so I believe that it's possible to do everywhere, especially if it's a question of life and death. I am extremely grateful to those people who have hosted me and would be happy to host somebody at my new place.

Welcome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share a lot of stories about mystical India, super-beautiful and dangerous Paris.
I can teach salsa, Ukrainian cuisine, Ukrainian language and tell a lot of facts about my homeland which you will never read in the books.

I can cook. Very good. Really.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Bohemian, cute and comfortable flat (in 15 min by tram to the city center). Three rooms and big loggia with panoramic windows. At the moment we have only one-two sleeping places, but also large and warm carpet floor in a living room where you can accommodate if you have sleeping bags. We live in the most green part of the city - three big parks are in 5 minutes fro our house.
We love pleasant friendly atmosphere, delicious food, interesting and unusual stories about our and other cultures and are ready to share all this with our guest.
