Hi! I am a freelance illustrator based in Kyiv. I work in Publishing, Advertising, Editorial fields, helping my clients visualize their texts and ideas. I am also an avid traveler who adores children's books! I learn to travel easy, and I love meeting different people on my way, and make connections! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I search for a couch I know I need to be such a person, whom I personally would like to host! This means: respectful, thankful and easy-going, of course. So far I've had a wonderful experience on couchsurfing, every time my hosts appeared to be incredible people. I hope my CS guests feel something similar too!

Music, Movies, and Books

Majority of books on my bookshelf are illustrated children's books or art catalogues. I adore Miyadzaki, and hight-quality animation in general. That one movie that made me cry beginning 'till the end is...The Green Mile!
I'm open to many things, so listing them here might last forever :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far it's a 1000km bicycle trip in France! I also managed to study in the US for free (thanks to the Fulbright Scholarship, hehe!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be pleased to draw with you, and for you too! I can definitely share my stories about living and studying, and eventually working in the US as an illustrator. I can tell you about my home country, Ukraine, and smash (or support) a couple of stereotypes you might have about it :) Always glad to spend time sharing stories with my hosts and surfers.
