My name is Iryna. I'm from Ukraine. I teach in the International school in Kyiv. I love traveling and meeting new people, reading and sports. Just to name couple of countries I've been to: Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Finland, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Poland, Turkey, Jourdan, Thailand, Tanzania, Canada, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great opportunity to meet new people, make friends and see the world.

Interests

I love to read, listen to music, working out, doing yoga, biking, and running. If you do yoga or like biking, we can do it together.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any kind of music. My choice depends much on the situation. For instance, if I go for a run I would prefer some electronic music. When I need to focus or relax, I will choose an acoustic track.
I don't have a TV for more than 7 years. I usually watch movies in the cinemas with my friends or online with my fiance. I like thrillers, comedies, mysteries, etc.
I love to read different books. Because I can speak three different languages, it gives me the opportunity to read different authors and their original writings, thus, giving me a different perspective of the world. I love different types and kinds of books, starting with classical fictional books and finishing with non-fictional literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are actually two things that came to my mind when I read the title of this section. Firstly, it was amazing to sand slide in one of the deserts in Jordan. Secondly, hiking in the Carpathian mountains and getting top the summit of it was a challenging but a rewarding experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

i'm not sure what I need to write here. However, I think as members of this website we commit to the philosophy of this program. When we meet new people, we have an amazing opportunity to teach them something new, learn something new from them, and share this experience together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share company with my hosts, make a meal (including a small European breakfast), cook some traditional Ukrainian food, bike, do yoga, and spend quality time with my host.
