I’m a Ukrainian-American from San Diego with a rich tapestry of experiences, from living in Europe and being part of a dance group to delving into the realms of AI and Corporate Wellness. Recently returning to the States, I've found joy in line dancing and continue to ground myself as a trained yoga teacher. My life is a balance of movement, technology, and deep introspection, constantly evolving with the seasons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I seek more than just travel; I crave authentic experiences, immersing myself in the colors and textures of local life. Couchsurfing offers a window into the heart of a community, revealing the quirks and charms of each place through the eyes of those who call it home.

Interests

My interests are as varied as they are deep – from the discipline of yoga and meditation to the joy of line dancing, the intrigue of AI and Corporate Wellness, to the art of networking and poetry. Each passion reflects a facet of my journey, weaving together a life rich in experiences and learning.

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical heart beats to the rhythm of 2010’s country music, a genre that breathes with lightheartedness and the essence of being a good human. On the literary front, Steve Jobs' biography was a revelation, marrying spirituality with technology, a path I now tread myself. Parahamsa Yogananda’s teachings also deeply resonate with me, aligning with my journey of integrating tech, yoga, and the arts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me, life's marvel lies in the simple, shared moments – whether it’s savoring a cappuccino on steps in Europe or chasing down dollar fish tacos on a whim. I cherish these small joys, believing they amplify the overall happiness in life and allow me to dive deeply into my work and passions.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a multilingual speaker and origami enthusiast, I’m eager to share the beauty of languages and the magic of paper art. My scientist's mind and artist's heart blend to create a unique perspective, which I love to share with those around me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations are where the magic starts. Every trip is a unique blend of moments and I bring a wealth of diverse knowledge to each. From cooking up a delicious omelette to sharing stories, I’m open to making every interaction memorable and heartwarming.
