Hello! I'm Daria, but you can call me Dasha. I'm originally from Ukraine, but I'm currently volunteering in Portugal. I've also spent some time living in Poland. I absolutely love meeting people from different countries and learning about new cultures. My passions include dancing, hiking, surfing, and most of all, traveling! Looking forward to sharing experiences and making new friends on Couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Starting next week, I'll be embarking on the Camino de Santiago. It would be amazing to use Couchsurfing to meet new people and find places to stay along this incredible journey!

Interests

I'm passionate about dogs and capturing their essence through photography. Dancing and meditation are my go-to ways to unwind and stay grounded. Traveling allows me to explore new cultures and capture breathtaking moments through my lens. When I'm not dancing, you might find me kayaking or surfing, embracing the beauty of nature. Volunteering is close to my heart, as I believe in giving back to the community. I also enjoy occasional nights out at clubs, immersing myself in vibrant music and energy. And of course, yoga keeps me balanced and centered amidst life's adventures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I have a diverse taste in music, enjoying everything from classical and jazz to pop and electronic.

Movies: I love movies like "1+1" and similar films that tell heartwarming and inspiring stories.

Books: I love the works of George Orwell and books in that genre, as well as reading about psychology.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I’ve done is starting my own small business with epoxy resin. It was a challenging yet incredibly rewarding experience that taught me a lot about creativity, perseverance, and entrepreneurship.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to exchange language knowledge, as I speak four languages. We can also share dance skills—I've been dancing for 10 years. And of course, I'm always excited to swap travel tips and advice!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring a wealth of stories and experiences from my travels and my volunteer work in Portugal. As a speaker of four languages, I can offer engaging and diverse conversations. With 10 years of dance experience, I'm happy to share some dance moves or even give a mini-lesson. Additionally, I have plenty of travel tips and advice to share. I'm friendly, respectful, and excited to create wonderful memories together!
