I´m from Ukraine. At the moment I live and work in Cologne (Germany).
I´m a very optimistic, open-minded and friendly person. Therefore I like travelling and getting know new cultures and people. Every journey gives me also the possibility to learn more about myself.
I like different forms of art: painting, dancing, playing the piano. For me it´s the best form to express my feelings and to relax.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like travelling and getting know new people and new cultures.
Since it´s not always possible to travel the whole year, I expect to learn new countries through the eyes of people from other countries.
I don´t like staying in hotel, because then I couldn´t get in touch with people from the country where I travel. And I think, one could get to know a new culture only through the contact to the natives,
