Hi! I'm a self-employed homeschooling mom of a 12 y.o. We both love travel and meeting people in their everyday life rather than skipping through the tourist attractions.

I speak English, Ukrainian and Russian, a little bit of French and a tiny bit of Italian, Polish and German. I'd love to learn Portuguese and Spanish. My daughter speaks fluent English, Ukrainian, Russian and some Polish.

We love music. I play piano a little bit and I study classical singing. My daughter is a very good piano player, she loves music theory composing and singing. She also loves computer science and everything about space.

We love nature, long walks, spending our time outdoors. We also love learning history, architecture, literature and local traditions. I am one of the leaders of Ukrainian homeschooling/unschooling community, so I'll be helpful for the homeschoolers or families with kids. I'll be happy to practice any of the languages I speak with you and your kids.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

We are both huge fans of The Big Bang Theory, Warehouse 13, Potteriana and all things magical.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had an amazing daughter, who is fun to travel with and precious to care for.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell about our homeschooling practices, teach you to cook Ukrainian food or cook it for you. I can also teach you the handcrafts like crocheting, knitting, sewing etc.
