I'm a Ukrainian TV journalist from Kyiv. I worked for one of the biggest Ukrainian media holdings ‘1+1 media’ for 4 years. Now I take a gap in my work and doing my Master's degree in Sustainable Communications in Sweden (Jonkoping).

Before, I lived and worked in Kyiv for 6 years. For television, I made more than 300 different stories and lives. Most stories were on social topics, also I shoot stories about business startups, history, and urbanism.

Before COVID I traveled a lot in Europe with my girlfriend. We use CS because sometimes want to know more about locals.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I adore communication and due to the chosen occupation I have to interview a lot of people and get to know something new about them. So I do love meeting new people.

Algo increíble que he hecho

By the way, I got unforgettable emotions after visiting an orphanage in Kyiv together with my colleagues. We presented a lot of useful things to the kids for them to develop their skills.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Being a journalist makes you know a little bit of everything. Therefore I like speaking and especially listening to people absorbing new information and sharing their knowledge.

I can tell a lot about television and film production.
I can teach you Ukrainian or Russian if you wish.
I can train your diction and voice through funny exercises if you get bored somehow.
My girlfriend is a yoga master. She can teach you amazing things! (I hope you get better than me:))
