I am Ukrainian who has been interested in Japan since childhood. When I graduated from university, I went to Japan to reach my dream.
I studied Japanese and worked as an English and Russian teacher. During my stay I met a lot of wonderful people here, not only Japanese, but other foreigners who I studied and worked with. Before that time there were only Japan and Ukraine in my head, but then my vision became broader. Now I have a dream to live in each county in the world at least 1 or 2 years of my life. It's the best way to know the country from inner side and understand its people, their way of life, thoughts, beliefs etc.
We live in one world, but it's so different and amazing.
I believe, we have to enjoy this beautiful life as much as we can. I can tell you about my own country and teach every thing I know. :)
And I would like to know about the world you are from, too. Let's meet and share!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I dream to visit every distant part of this world, learn new things, gain new experience and share my knowledge with others. This world is so beautiful and it would be a waste to miss the chance to know it much better!
Not just this planet, but every person is a huge world itself. Looking forward to meeting new 'worlds', enjoying every second and sharing smiles with you. ^_^
