Hi :) I am Katya and I live in Kyiv.
I work as a software developer but I'm also a student (in 1 year I will get a Master's degree in Computer Science). My favorite hobbies are dancing, traveling and horse riding. I dance west coast swing (WCS) and from time to time I visit international WCS events.
I want to explore the vast world around us, discover different cultures, places, people, their philosophies and ways of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am grateful to my friend who told me about Couchsurfing. I think this project is a great opportunity to make new friends all over the world, to learn about their habits and cultures and of course to make traveling easier and much more fun! :)
