I`m from Kyiv but now I`m studying and living in Lviv (western Ukraine).

I adore my future profession (psychology) because I believe that every person needs and deserves professional help in the field of mental health (not because everyone is mentally ill). We talk a lot about the importance of physical or intellectual development, but stigmatize the importance of taking care of ourselves and talking about our feelings.

In humans, as in myself, I appreciate a sense of humor. I believe in humor as in the key to success in communication between strangers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It`s the easiest and best (at the same time) opportunity for cultural exchange and spending time with locals.
