Hi! I'm Ira, 20 years old student, currently studying International Financial Management and living in the Netherlands. I believe in people and in the power of diversification. My traveling experience proved me one thousand times that people around the world are impressive, a lot of them inspire me and give faith to the best. During my regular life (while not traveling) I prefer to fill all of my free time with visiting events, climbing, swimming, everything but not sitting at a place. Sometimes I do all the same during the travelings as well. Are you looking for an easy-going and well understanding person? Will be happy to help you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm only starting to travel (2 years of experience is not so much), but this service is a great opportunity to make it more fascinating. I want to be a part of the community. Community where everyone cares:)

Interests

My main interest is to draw ideas from people around me and to share my own beliefs with others. So, basically, it's about communication. I appreciate the full and sincere conversations, appreciate people to be open-minded and take any point of view, I try to be the same and, hopefully, do it well:)
While visiting new places, I prefer to spend time just walking and practicing my photography skills, catching the moment in the picture to remind me then how that moment was truly amazing. So different events, crowded places as well as deserted landscapes and streets filled with architectural masterpieces - it is all for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do like, basically, any kind of music. The rhythm inspires me and gives a power for new accomplishments, that's why I usually study with the music in my ear pods. The same about movies, I'm one of those who still prefer to go to the cinema, take popcorn and be totally in the movie, live with protagonists the single life till the end of the movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed Canada's border without a visa and, obviously, was sent back.
Was hitchhiking in Romania and Moldova, and then kissing the ground of my Ukrainian land:)
Went alone to some far tropical islands for a few times and found dozens of friends at the place.
