About Me

CURRENT MISSION

work hard-go pro!

ABOUT ME

Curious, energetic and extremely optimistic.
My life principle is to learn the world through traveling.

Well here is my life story, very briefly.
I'm Ukrainian, was born and raised in Russia. So I was brought up on two cultures, speaking both languages from my childhood. That made me be interested in cultures and traditions of other countries. A little later I finish a Foreign Language School and major in Teaching English. I like traveling, exploring the world and meeting interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives a chance to meet interesting people, share views and inspire each other for new hobbies.

Interests

Here are some things I can't imagine my life without:

1) Friends and relatives. They take the first place in my life. I appreciate the moments spent together so much.
2) Music. Everywhere. Sets the rhythm of my life. Mute or loud. It's always with me.
3) Dancing. Ballroom dancing and Brasilian Forro!
4) Traveling. no comments. New places, new lives, new people, new ideas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did skydiving at the age of 18. Awesome! 2 miles down, 45 seconds of the free fall, screeming non-stop haha. Unforgettable!

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to play chess professionally (Сandidate master). I could teach you some basic things, or play with you on an equal footing if you need some practice.
