Hello, friends!

Nice to meet you !

My name is Lolita. I am Ukrainian, I live in Odessa (Ukraine). I am 24 year old. I am non smoker, I drink very seldom. I am non religious, vegetarian and lgbt. I love animals, and cats especially 🙈

My English isn’t excellent, but Im trying my best :)

I’m a freelance artist. I draw pictures for people, take commissions sometimes, make and sell prints and stickers on Etsy (art Instagram: @snovaaprell );

I want to explore world, meet new people around the planet!

I DO NOT searching for relationships or intimate relationships on this app. Please, do not message me for this.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

• I want to explore world;
• I want to improve my English (and learn other languages too);
• Sometimes renting apt costs a lot! So, CS is helpful in that way too;
• The best way to explore new city/country is to meet locals;
• I want to meet more new people! (I’m new here, but I already met a lot of interesting people! Every CS’s member was so kind to me and every person is really interesting), (also I’m trying to get a rid of my extra shyness by meeting new people, I’m trying to go out from my comfort zone to improve myself as a person);
• Opportunities for traveling. Sometimes there is no way/ or hard to explore country (for example) if you don’t have a car/license. There are a lot of places where you can go only with a car (nature, parks, castles, small towns). And I’m so glad I can find nice people from CS who would like to go there with me!
• For Odessa’s guests: I want to show you the best parts of Odessa, so you’ll get a good impression of this city (there are a lot of dreadful parts here, but I won’t show them :b);
• I want to help people as I can and I would be happy to receive a help from people back;

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I would like to meet new people! I’m interested into knowing about your traditions/musical flavors/lifestyle.
Also I would like to hear and share stories about traveling, musical gigs, arts ~

FOR ODESSA’S GUESTS

1) Opera Theater.
I highly recommend you to go to Opera House. You can go inside only if you bought tickets. You can buy tickets online and print them or to buy them directly in the theater. Tickets cost from 2€ (cheapest sits on the highest floor. But the view from this highest floor is amazing!). I suggest you to visit Opera Theater even if you don’t like operas/ballets. You can just take a look inside, walk inside, take photos, watch performance a little and than go out if you want.

2) Seaside.
Good beaches are situated at Langeron, Otrada, Arcadia, Stations of the Great Fountains (14-18). There are a lot of restaurants and clubs in the Arcadia.

3) Potemkin Stairs.
PS is a giant stairway situated in the city center. Right beside the Odessa’s sea port, Istanbul Park, Primorsky boulevard.

4) City Garden.
This is a small park in the City Center.

5) Deribasovskaya Street.
This is a Main Historical Street of Odessa (half of the streets is for pedestrians only. There are a lot of restaurants here.

6) Shopping centers: Athens, Europe .

There is no Starbucks in Odessa. But “Merry berry” is also nice coffee house.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I would be so happy if someone could become my host (in city/country where I will travel to).

Im very calm and adequate person.
I won’t be annoying for you if you are busy.
Most of the time I will be out exploring the city.

I would like to share peace and my little experience about traveling!

I’m an artist so I also can draw something for you (my art instagram is @snovaaprell ).

If you need I can:
• clean your flat;
• cook some meal (I’m not too good at cooking, but I will try my best :D );
• buy products.
• I can draw something for you)

We can play music together (if you have instruments 😋 I play guitar and sing a little), watch films, make some arts, meditate, etc!
But, of course, for me no.1 desire in new city is to explore it (not watching films all days long hah). And after long walking I would like to chill a bit.
