2023 UPDATE: Settled in Ukraine for now

2021 UPDATE: I don't have a home anymore ^_^ But it's a good thing: now I'm traveling and working remotely.

I am human, and I think nothing of which is human is alien to me!

Hey folks, I'm much more likely accepting the requests from people who have at least a couple of references, sorry for beginners, but life is a bitch and then we die. Have a nice journey! :)
Same thing about friend requests and messages - empty ones will be just ignored so don't waste your time. "Hi" or "Hi, Maria" looks like an empty message to me, so it will be ignored as well since I hate small talks and valuing my time pretty high.
For those who just bored of their insignificant life or desperately looking for a girlfriend - skip this profile, there will be no deal.
In the bottom line - if you have no decent reasons to approach me, just don't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to make new international and regional friends, improve my English and learn German. I like traveling, philosophy, deep conversations and sharing of experience in every single field of human`s life. Don`t hesitate to contact me if you want to hang out in Haifa or just ask anything, I`ll be glad to help.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is amazing by itself, so just breathing is already an amazing thing to do!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach you Ukrainian or Hebrew, or translate for you something. I`ve learned a bit of psychology and I just like crazy people, maybe we all are crazy or I just identify myself with the ones, so if you think you are one of them, we probably can make good friends hhh
So cultural and language exchange is a big thing that I'm into, but I take it much further into profiling our perception of the world and people around us based on linguistic philosophy and features of the cultural background we're coming from. Everyone of us is a product of the environment we exist in, therefore traveling or connecting to "the other" (the term i don't believe in) is the ultimate way to open up our minds and gain different perspectives or at least to learn of other ways to think about life.
Question everything - the rule I live by. Even your own thoughts might not be your own, worth checking twice! :)
