ABOUT ME

Hey! I’m Lozhka (it's my surname which means “spoon” in Ukrainian), my first name is Mariia. I am from Kyiv and currently live in Barcelona.

I’m a writer focused on fiction and advertising. I also worked as a teacher of arts for children and an exhibition guide in a contemporary art gallery.

For years I've been involved in volunteering (festivals, non-profit theatres, orphanages, animal shelters, and even once yacht regatta).

In relationship with French. Believe in love in many forms and collecting stories to turn them into art.

3 things I love: literature, open-minded people, and long voyages. I’m glad to help couchserfers in Kyiv.
