Hi there, my name is Julia and I am a Ukrainian who’s studying in Prague 🪴

I am that weirdo who’s switched from studying cultural studies to mechanical engineering while still being very fond of art and different cultures 🧚🏼‍♀️

I don’t like labeling anything, myself included, although the only two terms that I want to use to describe myself are: proud feminist and proud vegetarian 🌿

My personal rules that I follow no matter what are:
• treat everyone with respect;
• do everything in your power to stay in harmony with your inner self;
• never idolize the past, your life is now, so live it now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To stay open-minded, to know what other people think, how other people live, to know that there are always alternatives to what I’m used to, and to meet amazing people who’d make my days a tad better ✨
