My name is Julie (or Julia). I was born in Ukraine but I've been living in Prague with my family since my childhood, for a really long time. So my home is here, in Prague. I've finished high school and I started stuying at University. I am passiontely interested in psychology and human beings. I love everything that is connected with psychology and people. I absolutely love studying that and learning new things about it! I'm just a very curious person!

I've been a volunteer in a lot of organizations and I keep doing that. Right now I am mostly intrested in autism problematic and psychopathology (diferrent disorders etc.). I am absolutely fascinated and amazed by human psyche and brain. After I graduate I want to work as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist. I am also planing to join some psychological researches if possible.

I love being active even though sometimes I need to stop and relax from my busy life. I absolutely love studying, reading, music (I play piano and sing), concerts, art (different museums, galleries and exhibitions...), camping (I've already been camping in Czech Republic, Germany, Greece and Italy), sports (swiming, hiking, cycling, climbing, dancing - I was taking swing lessons), learning languages (improving my english, learning german and french). And I wish I could do even more...!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely love travelling! Traveling brings so much joy and happines into my life, it gives me energy and strengh to keep doing what I am doing. I love exploring different countries, cities and nature. I love meeting new places, people and new experiences. Save and easy travelling is one of the most wonderful possibilities that 21st century brings us. I would love to travel as much as possible in my life. Since I love being very active, I love meeting new people and I love adventures and since I am a young student, I decided to join CS. It's a great opportunity to meet new people, to travel and to experience amazing things in life.

Music, Movies, and Books

There's a big amount of books, music and movies I like!

I can listen to almost all types of music beginnig with the clasical genre to metal music. It depends on each band and each song.

I love reading when I get some time to do that. I usually read a lot of psychological books since I've been studying psychology and I am very interested in it. But I also like reading books from clasical writers. I especialy love authors from the 20th century as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry or Franz Kafka. I also like realistic literature as F. Dostojevski or Honore de Balzac.
