About Me

I studied as an architectural designer, but, as for now, I am thinking to change my profession. Although, I'm still fascinated by different city structures and authentic architectural elements of the cities I visit :)

I like cooking, going out for walks, spending time with friends, cycling, watching tv shows (but that's a guilty pleasure I'm trying to minimize in my life :D), traveling and/or seeing something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm kinda introverted, but still, I like meeting new people so much! It's exciting when to a pretty usual story you tell, a person you just met gives her/his opinion and that makes you see the usual (or even boring) thing in a new light :D
I haven't traveled a lot in past due to different reasons, but would like to slowly incorporate traveling into my life. Couchsurfing seems to be a perfect place to see countries from the "inside", as getting to know a culture from a local is an amazing experience!

Music, Movies, and Books

Hard to pinpoint particular movies and music bands. In general, I like TV shows and cartoons and documentaries. The list would be too long :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach you Ukrainian if you are interested, and in exchange learn some basics of your language. I can also try to teach you to cook, or to draw, and of course, would gladly learn from you if you know more about cooking :D
I would gladly answer any question about the culture of Ukraine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook, and although my skills are not on the best level, I still like sharing what I know or demonstrating it in the process. In my daily life, I need to follow a special nutrition plan, and that made me learn a lot about cooking and nutrition, and learn to be creative in cooking while having some restrictions.
