Hi, I'm Daria! I live and study in Kyiv, Ukraine, but currently - in Fredericia, Denmark. I study Journalism/Advertising and Directing/Writing, perceiving it as a great opporunity to make first steps on my way of becoming professional in things that I love. Except working with texts and videos I'm keen on singing and telling stories in very different ways - from interviewing people to creating performances

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that traveling and meeting new people is the best way to expand the horizons. After moving to Denmark I realized that I'm too curious to stay at one place for very long period of time, but, on the other hand, student's life doesn't imply a lot of opportunities for travels - that's why I'm looking for obtainable ways of exploring new countries. Unfortunately, it's a bit complicated to host guests during my double-studying, but I'll be very glad to give some advice about traveling in Ukraine and Denmark

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know very much about movies and filmmaking yet, but I'm sincerely interested in this field and I'm always glad to discuss it. I'm good at taking cosy photos of people I meet and places I visit during my journeys. And also I can teach you how to cook traditional Ukrainian dishes
