I am an open and cheerful person. My friends say that they love me for my laugh. Because sometimes it may be much funnier than a joke itself. So I like laughing a lot because it makes my life longer.
Also, I love the beauty in its all aspects. I love flowers and often buy some to have them at my home. I collect different glass bottles and use them as vases.
I save a lot of pics of sunsets. I order books at my shelf by colors.
I collect postcards from different places, mostly from the cities where I’ve been to. Moreover, I love to send the postcards to my friends. Having a lovely line on the postcard will definitely cheer up even the grumpiest person in the world.

I used to be an English teacher at uni student's club and it was one of my most pleasant activity. I was so grateful to all the students who spend their free time with me learning English, but not drinking beer or having party. And it paid off a lot. I have a lot of good friends now due to that experience in the past.

Besides, I like drawing, despite I can’t draw :) I’m practicing now and having different paintings where you need to color it by the numbers. I find this very interesting and helpful. I believe that I will draw nice soon.

I like the city where I live - Kiev. I try to spend as much time outside as possible to discover the typical views at a new angle. And I take a lot of pictures of the city.

I can't live without ice cream and chocolate :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about CS about 8 years ago but didn't give it a try. So the time has come.
I am pretty sure that being couch surfer is much better than being a couch potato

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took part in the marathon and ran 12km.
One more amazing thing - I climbed the highest Ukrainian peak, Hoverla - 2061m.

Teach, Learn, Share

The most important thing that I can share with is time. I like meeting new people, exploring different cultures, learning new traditions and exchanging the experience. This broadens my mind and breaks down the barriers.

Also, I can teach you how to make a baked cheesecake. And borsch of course :) It is very delicious.
