I have recently graduated with my LLM in Law and currently work in a law firm. My specific field of practice is international arbitration. I am also keen on human rights and in 2019 I participated in mock trials for students (moot courts) related to gender-based violence.

I like travelling and exploring new places, people and cultures. I did my Erasmus in Lille, France in 2019 and spent July of 2022 in Paris during Paris Arbitration Academy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to explore a new city is to hang up and live with the locals. Also, it is an excellent way to build a network with different people around the world. I am sure that once I have my own apartment in Kyiv, I will also become a host and will return a favour to my previous hosts and the universe.
