About Me

A young girl who living and studying in Lviv. I am a pretty closed person so I want to get out of the comfort zone and communicate with the unknown and new people.

I love going to the mountains and hiking. I'm a big nature lover. This is one of the reasons why I don't eat meat (already nine months).
I am often involved in volunteering, helping with social and entertainment activities.

Now, when everyone started to talk a lot about the environment I try to use less plastic. So instead of the usual packages, I use eco bags (by the way do it by myself).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Of course, this is the best way to learn about the lives of people in different countries. Also, the host can tell you about interesting places that you will not find in the guidebooks. It is a good thing to find friends around the world and improve the knowledge of different languages or even explore a new one. For me, it is an impulse to become more open to new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do not have one favorite genre of music, I listen to a lot of different music. From rap to classical instrumental. Also, I really enjoy listening to House music, this is a channel where I always listen to it https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQKAQuy1Rbj49rJMmiLigTg
Some of my favorite artists: Three Day Grace, Imagine Dragons, David Guetta, Dua Lipa, JP Cooper, The Weeknd, The XX, and many, many others.

My favorite movies: Knockin on heaven`s door, The Green Mile, The Lord of the Rings, The Fault in our Stars, Wonder, The Shawshank Redemption. Also, I really like serials, some of my favorites: Good Doctor, Mr. Hause, This is Us, Shameless and Sherlock.

When I was younger I didn't like to read, i don't know why. So I haven't read a lot of books. But I try to fix it. Some of them "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, "Charlie and the Сhocolate Factory", " Fahrenheit 451 " by Ray Bradbury.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the things I'm proud of is that I climbed Hoverla (the highest mountain in Ukraine 2061 meter) when I was 4 years old. All the tourists asked to take a photo with me as I was the youngest on the hill. It was very funny for me.
I also like to be a volunteer at various events. At the university, we often visit the elderly and children who are left without parents. It brings pleasure to help others and make their life happier.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to not use ordinary packages, I can even give you one of my eco bags or do one together
I can also listen to you if you need to talk about important things, for this, I have a balcony with a magnificent view of the city.
Also, we can arrange culinary battles, because I love cooking, but not all my dishes are always delicious))

Countries I’ve Visited

Bulgaria, Turkey
