Im Maria, originally from Ukraine but now in Texas. I love CS, but I was way more active in the community back in Ukraine while traveling around Europe. I’m all about meeting new peeps, and I think the best way to chill is by hosting or crashing at someone’s place. It adds so many fun layers—like cooking together, chatting over coffee, and just getting to know each other! ️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“It is not necessarily at home that we best encounter our true selves. The furniture insists that we cannot change because it does not; the domestic setting keeps us tethered to the person we are in ordinary life, who may not be who we essentially are.”
