I am Irene, living in Kiev.
Currently I work as an accountant, but my life and interests is all around.
When I studied at university I was involved in active social activities and have been volunteering at international projects in a few countries for 3 years, since that time I like to spend time within an international community, to travel as much as I can and to find out about lives of a different cultures.

My big dream is to fly across the ocean and to travel through both parts of America (In 2017 I made my dream came true on 50% when traveled across both Coasts of USA - so looking forward to make another 50% happen and to visit colorful South America).

I like to spend free time in an active way: moving out to nature by hiking, skating, making picnics with friends, singing, visiting football matches (well, you understand correct - I am a football fan:) ).

I love running and walking a long distances (it gives me a chance for a deep thinking and evaluating life moments).

I like volunteering, because believe that helping each other together we could make the world better and I get real inspiration seeing people smiled. At that time during volunteering I meet many like-minded people who share the same values.

Saying shortly: my life is all about people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that CS unites a like-minded people all over the world and I know that it is a wonderful way to get a real understanding of a different cultures and to look at the country you visit through the eyes of locals you meet.

Currently I am not able to host, but I will be happy to help you with advice about attractions&ukrainian food (oh, how delicious ukrainian cuisine is!), meet up and to show you around if you happen to be in Kiev!
But remember I don't use CS as a dating site (I will ban any related messages)!
