ABOUT ME

Here I come. My name is Lena and I am Ukrainian and proud of it. I am a teacher, but I decided to make pause and a kind of figure out what I want. People say that I am a good listener and friend, but it doesn't stop me from making sarcastic comments from time to time. Like sport and spending my time actively. I think that our life is too short to stay at one place. Whenever I have time or option, I travel and not necessarily too far from home.

This year I am an AuPair ( living-in nanny) in NJ. It is really interesting as I can meet people, hang out and discover new places.

Have a lot of funny stories to share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am to travel around the world and to learn about things I am interested in not from books, but from people. I like to share ideas, emotions and dreams. That's why I am here.

Interests

I like to make photos of everything and everyone. It's like a memory book for me. It helps me to get some connection with the past. I like to spend time with friends walking around and finding something new. I have already learned how to use snowboard and i would like to learn how to use surf.

Also I have a hobby, which is to collect friends. I wouldn't say I collect people, I collect their stories and pieces of advice.
