Hey friends! 🙏🏼
My name is Maria and I am from beautiful and unfortunately not peaceful Ukraine 🇺🇦

Let me tell more about me.

I am German an Ukrainian teacher, Yoga teacher, and just a regular person who has 2 beautiful cats. Jassey and Lis.

I have been studying linguistics and then business administration in the University. I take pictures with my film camera. So I can tell you a lot of interesting stories from my work and life. I am passionate about Chinese tea 🍵 I always have some tee with me.

Or maybe you want to give me an interview and be the next character of my book? I'm a very good listener, I like broad my outlook and the biggest reason why I am traveling is meeting new people and listen new stories. And of course making new friends.

I can't live without art.

Moreover dancing is my passion. I find attractive not only professional dancers, I believe that the best dance borns in the heart. When the soul is dancing, no matter how you move, no matter how flexible are your legs, but the most important thing is the freedom you feel dancing, enjoying every movement and living now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is so big and so small at the same time. One day you catch the moment when you understand, that money and things worth nothing. Only people connections and interactions could move the Word and make it a better place to be.
And the only thing you can give and share is your energy, produced somewhere inside your soul, inspired by the Universe . I am looking for soulmates around the world. And... is there any better place to meet if it isn’t just home kitchen?
