We are Ukrainians but lived for 6 years in Canada, then spent a year traveling South-East Asia.
Now we are back to our dear Ukraine and studying to become psychotherapists.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My husband (Dan) and me (Dariia), we really want to learn more about different cultures and countries and we are certain that one of the best ways to do it is through meeting people that live there.

Interests

꒰ღ˘‿˘ற꒱❤⃛

Life addicted. I can discuss any topic in the world, well, except politics probably (as I'm fed up with it), BUT Dan loves the topic if you are interested to discus :))

My main interests include, but not limited to:
Self-exploration, languages, women, men, cultures (at this period of my life I'm especially curious about Japanese and Korean ones), watercolor painting, yoga, hiking, skiing, cooking, food tasting, countries, fun...
Dream to learn kyudo one day.

Lately I love watching Korean dramas :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

꒰ღ˘‿˘ற꒱❤⃛

I was born in the country that is a legend now, but doesn't exist anymore - USSR; growing up in the country that 1st time in a history got independence - Ukraine.

My second amazing thing was to move to other side of the planet - Canada, and start life from scratch.
