About Me

I am a very spontaneous and communicable person. Love active lifestyle and dancing salsa. I am interested in learning new cultures and meeting new people from around the globe. I am very easy to talk to and absolutely keen on looking for new travel routes and low-cost tickets. If you need any help with tickets feel free to ask me (I'm doing that every day anyway :)

5 Things I like almost as much as traveling:
1. Thinking and talking about traveling
2. Planning new trips
3. Salsa and Bachata parties
4. Learning foreign languages (at the moment Portuguese and French)
5. Coffee

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives you a unique chance to meet up with people and deep into their culture. I believe that couchsurfers are the most open-minded people and I am always excited to listen to their travel stories!

I can gain much more knowledge about the country, the city, and the mentality. That's a priceless experience!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything that helps me learn my target language (for now it's Portuguese). I used to like Arctic Monkeys. I don't listen to Ukrainian music that much but, for sure, there is one band I can recommend - Okean Elzy (Океан Ельзи).

I am trying to follow all the new movies but I always have a lack of time for that :( I would rather read a book or learn a new language instead.
Friends series one love .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done many:

Escaped to the US for 6 month.

Hitchhiked in Georgia.

Was chased by the crazy guys one night in Paris.

Ate the world's best pizza in Naples.

Leant Spanish on my own.

Tried wine in Bordeaux.

Got lost in Vaticano Museum.

Stopped eating animals.

Got trapped in Barcelona during the political protest.

Moved to Málaga.

I am a spontaneous person and sometimes I don't know what to expect from myself. Though it keeps my life interesting and adventurous.

I never regret about doing something. However, sometimes I may regret about the things I could do but I didn't.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning something new every day! I am obsessed with foreign languages and my new challenge is Spanish.
I may share the experience I've already got and good stories from my life, some facts from the history of my country.

When I am in the city and have some free time, I don't mind to share some coffee and exchange experience and ideas. Feel free to contact me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can guide a person around the town, recommend my favorite places and cook something vegan (I am not vegan, I just find vegan recepies easy and delicious).
