Hi! I am Lily. I moved to US from Ukraine 🇺🇦 9 years ago.

I am into sports. Playing volleyball, racquetball, running, lifting weights at the gym 4-5 days a week.

I love hiking and travelling with my backpack, like to meet new people, have new connections and get new friendships along the path.
I am traveling all around United States trying to combine my love for travel and food. Since this country is a conglomeration of many different subcultures and cuisines, I am eager to explore its burgeoning local food scene.

I just came back from my trip to Peru which was breathtaking, life-changing and “pound-gaining” :).
1 backpack, 5 flights, 6 cities in 9 days, Christmas in a desert, spectacular river tour, visiting of many historical sightseeing, whole day at the magnificent Machu Picchu, at least 20k steps every day... This kind of journey is a truly for the wild at heart. So I would be
more than happy to share my experience with you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I overcame my fear of heights!

Teach, Learn, Share

The most useful things a person learns not from school, but from talking to interesting and competent people. So I hope I can teach something and learn something during our conversations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very clean and organized.
I can share some knowledge about my native country, teach you the most common Ukrainian/Russian words, bring you delicious imported sweets from local Russian supermarket and, of course, tell you stories about my travel experience around US and Peru.

Also I can cook some Ukrainian or some international dishes, so hosts wouldn't need to worry about the dinner.
