Hi there!
My name is Kateryna. I'm from Kyiv, Ukraine.
That's my first-time Couchsurfing! And it seems pretty fun so far:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am fond of travelling! But not in the ''touristic'' way. I like exploring the city/country by interacting with locals, visiting wonderful places that are not that popular among tourists and to let the "feeling" lead while walking (and by that I mean the next situation. Imagine you're walking down the unfamiliar street in the unknown city and just turning where you want at a particular moment. Just because you want to turn at that street and because that sounds more fun than following the google maps!)
So I'm on Couchsurfing because I'm open to a new acquaintance and willing to know more about the countries I'm visiting: what are they like? what is the everyday life of people like? what interesting I can learn there?
In return, I'm ready to share! I can tell you more about Ukraine and Kyiv in particular (spoiler: it's the best place on Earth to visit and I can tell you why!)
Basically, that's what Couchsurfing is about for me - cultural exchange while travelling :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With friends, we made an action in Paris to support Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia. Some of them are back home. So I'm proud of myself that I contributed to their return!
