About Me

I love cats so much.. 🐾
Ethiopian Ukrainian, grew up between Ghana, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Uganda, and Kenya until I was 18. Since then, I’ve lived in Canada, Norway, England, Spain, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan. Recently moved to Kazakhstan.

Its rare to find people comfortable with themselves and free to care about others or even see them. 🌻

I want to hear, feel, and understand people who enter my life. I value greatly those who cant help but do so, are conscious to share space and connection where people are seen as growing, changing beings of potential rather than simply explained characters. The couchsurfing community has left an impact on me after my having found such people here.

I want to enjoy and share in growth together, experience greater versions of ourselves, and build networks through which good culture and care are spread. PS. I hope you like Pink Floyd

I am obsessed with design, (especially architecture and interior design.) 🪘I love to put together different fabrics, draw palaces, build treehouses, design interiors, observe the expression of movement. I love sharing in creative processes, painting, drawing, writing, building beautiful places. Likewise Music.

The way a living room is put together, the colors and textures that are prevalent within it, the way the space is distributed, guides the interactions and moments in relationships that take place there. 🛋️ The way a house, cafe, or city is designed promotes and is conducive to certain human expressions whilst hindering others.

The choices of the designer are like suggestions, discouragements, obligations, and limitations for our experiences and expressions of life in that space.

I feel a deep need to return to natural environments often, 🌲 almost as if to recharge. I also (to the contrary in a sense) deeply enjoy the creation and artistry of drawings, pots, clothes, tables, bags, and all sorts of craftsmanship. 🏺

I value eating healthily, 🥗 training, swimming, running, getting out in the sunlight and fresh air, learning new skills, gaining knowledge, and having touching experiences. 🌞

Got caught backpacking, hitchhiking in Andalusia when so-called “quarantine” restrictions began, sleeping on beaches and eating fruit-shop leftovers. Living with my friend outdoors in a broken tent, which we kept moving to hide from police. ⛺

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After being stuck for a few years, finally managed to get out of Ukraine in early 2024 and am travelling once again, looking to make new connections, see new experiences and gain new understandings. 🍇

Music, Movies, and Books

Certainly too many to list as I love many scenes and melodies without loving the film or song as a whole, artistic wholesomeness is rare and most great artists capture but a few moments within decades of work.

for the sake of a general understanding, I love Pink Floyd incredibly and depending on the mood- Fleetwood Mac, Bob Marley, Manu Chao, Gotan Project and many others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🌻Everything which I have ever done, is the creation of God.
🌺Everything happens by The Will of God.
🌊He is The One and Only Creator, Who is Eternal without Beginning, All-Knowing, Eternal without end and Who has absolutely no resemblance to His creations.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and teach languages 🐈‍⬛, to share in the discovery of new structures of thoughts and expressions, new linguistic frequencies and melodies. I would be happy to share what I can as far as languages are concerned.

As a deeply curious student, I greatly enjoy sharing knowledge as much as gathering it, and this is one of my favorite things to do—to experience the discovery and satiation of curiosity, others' or my own. I would enjoy spending time learning something new together or from each other.

I would love to share in creative process, especially musical, architectural, interior design, fashion. These are the spheres and forms of expression that interest me most but I also love others such as film and animation.

I love to cook 🫕 but often do so rarely as I am very meticulous and can easily spend three to four hours preparing a meal. I love food from around the world but am very confident in my preparation of Indian, Italian, and Russian dishes.
