i study ethnology and cultural anthropology and i do love it. recently i'm interested mostly in anthropology of politics and posthumanist theory.

at the same time i do my very folkloristic reaserch in an amazing region of Ukrainian Carpathians.

i work as en educator with refugee children, especially Chechenyan.

in my free time i like to go to my parnets house near the forest and river.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i used to travel in a way similar to couchsurfing but i've never used the side. for me knowing the people is the most important thing during visiting country and cs makes it easier. sometimes i cannot go anywhere and then the world can come to me in the people. so feel warmly welcome :) but firsty include in your request the word "knedle"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i was sitting in a very dark and very cold small house in Ukrainian mountains. there were i, my friend and and an older man. the house belonged to him - a shepherd. he told us lots of stories. firstly he didn't propose us to eat his soup because - as I could see - he needed it to have any food for next day. but later he put vodka on a table, cut some bread and told to us 'thank you' so many times. 'you are my brother and sister' he told. and he sang a very long christmas carol for us, and when he finished, the only one candle in the room went off. and it was a few minutes before he found a new one, put it on a place and turn the light on. and then took a flute and played for us. and said 'thank you' once again, and once again.

so now i think the most amazing things in life aren't the things we do, but this in which we can participate. this time i didn't do completely nothing. but the moment was absolutely important for me, for my friend and for the shepherd, we all knew it. that was almost nothing, but that was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can show you some cute places of Warsaw, as well as postcommunist residues. we can watch polish movies or listen to polish music if you want to know them.

we can ride bicycles together.

it will be a pleasure for me to make a notebook or a giftcard for you by hands, since i love to play with paper.

What I Can Share with Hosts

stories. sunrises and sunsets. little gifts from my home.
