I'm from Ukraine 🇺🇦 Love to travel, see interesting places, meet new people. Love active outdoor stuff - hiking, biking, snowboarding. Always open for new experiences! ▫️ Lived tree years in US doing the exchange program and learning language and traveling. My last two month in US I spend on coast to coast bike ride (unbelievable and unforgettable experience!! Will highly recommend to experience country in such way;) ▫️ Now returned home to Ukraine and work as a designer. In free time help with kids and teens in the church. Always a fun time!! Love God with all your heart, love your neighbor as yourself!that's what will make a difference in this world!❤️

February-March 2019 planning to go to mission trip to Kenya 🇰🇪 help and spend time with the kids.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled across US from east to west coast -3750mi (6000km). 🚴‍♀️ summer-fall 2017 It was the best journey ever, even better that I could dream of! We got to see the country from whole new perspective, going through rural areas, forests and fields, farms and ranches, mountains and endless but beautiful desert 🌵. Waking up everyday in a new place and meeting local people, pushing and stretching our limits. We went across 9 states and crossed three time zones (each time gaining an extra hour and living 25 hour days ☀️) Started in Yorktown, VA and finished in San Francisco.

▫️Have tons of stories to tell, and think one day when I will be old grandma 👵 my great-grandkids will tell me “Grandma, no way you DID IT!” Ahahah 😂

▫️Entirely thankful to God for making the impossible possible and putting all the pieces together for this trip to happen! And thankful for people whom we met and friends and family for support, prayers and encouragement!
