Hi) I`m from Ukraine, it`s central part, where I grew up and graduated from the university (major - English language and literature). Also had the opportunity to work in Kyiv, the capital, which is my favourite place to live so far.
While at the university I participated in a Work and travel programme in the USA. Only 4 months there, but this experience changed me a lot - I came back with the desire to see as much of the world as possible, especially while I`m young and free.
Now I`m in an au-pair programme in the Netherlands and I`ve got a great chance to see Europe and I`m not gonna miss it :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, there should be some fun stuff to tell my grandchildren haha)

Although at the moment I don`t have enough space to accomodate a guest, I would love to see myself what`s it like to feel at home in a totally unknown place. I`ve heard a lot of positive stories about Couchsurfing and finally I`ve got enough motivation and courage to do it;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach some Ukrainian - it`s a melodic language. Plus, something of the Ukrainian cuisine (i`m not an expert but anyway).

Want to learn to drive (still haven`t!). I`m always curious about new words, or cultural peculiarities. Want to finally learn French to speak fluently and to read in original.
