I am rather calm and optimistic person, who can't imagine her life without travelling, volunteering for kids and helping others. I grew up in Kyiv, althought half of my childhood I spent in the village with my granny. I graduated as a translator\linguist, but manged to work in diffent spheres: banking, communications, administartion, SMM etc. I know that the person is so much more than his occupation, that's why an important part of my life is volunteer work fro different christian organizations that work with kids.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like meeting new people. I know from my own experience how enriching friendship is, how great it is to feel that you are not alone in this world, especially when you find yourself in a new country that you know little about :) Also, I would like to know the country I'm visiting from the inside and the best way to do so is to get to know a native. Hopefully we'll become friends))
