Hello, CS family!
I am Galina and I am form Ukraine 🇺🇦

I spent a half of my life collecting different diplomas and certificates, even got MBA)

But one day my life has changed not in a good way.
I clearly understood that life is very short and unpredictable…
I've remembered that travelling was my crazy dream since I was a child.

So I left everything and went to Thailand to start my new dreaming life - travelling, meeting people, discovering new countries and the World’s stories.

From August 2019 to June 2020 I was travelling around Asia as a backpacker/hitchhiker with a friend of mine Jane.
We have covered Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, Bali, Singapore, India...
Who knows where we could get if there would not happened Corona-virus.🤦🏼‍♀️

After our back home, to Kiev, I started to write a book about our fantastic journey as a backpackers. 🎒

Hope this book will become a bestseller!🤞🏻😜

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never done couchsurfing before my journey in Asia, because I couldn’t imagine that people can be so kind and so generous!

But once I’ve tried I understood that Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to learn how wide, open, kind and unbelievable are our WORLD and PEOPLE who lives in it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
