Hi! I am a master student of Eastern European Studies and have recently discovered my love for the Ukrainian language. I am currently preparing my thesis, which is consuming a lot of my time. But when I have some, I like to ride my bike, read, dance and drink tea and watch movies with my friends.
I eat vegetarian, but mostly because I am not very good in cooking meat. And when I travel, I eat anything that looks interesting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I currently need it for an internship.

I have made good experiences with CS events in St. Petersburg and my boyfriend and I would like to welcome people in Berlin, but I am afraid this will only be possible after we found another apartment because of our landlord.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Becoming a part of my boyfriends family is one of the best things, that happened to me. It is so great to have grandparents again.
