Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Explore the world and contribute to making it a more inclusive place for living.
ABOUT ME
I am Ukrainian, but moved to Spain long-term because of the war and my curiosity to explore Spain. I like to explore the local food, nature and beautiful places, therefore I usually travel on the weekends. I try to take as much as I can from the experience I have now abroad considering all the circumstances!
In general, I am a person who likes to travel, explore culture and learn history of countries I travel to, try new food, meet like-minded people and have deep conversations. I am into feminism, psychology and modern technology. In addition, I appreciate moments when I can unite with nature. Time with nature charges me with energy and brings the feeling of tranquility.
It's very important for me that you don't use Couchsurfing as a dating app. Couchsurfing is a completely different thing, it's about traveling, different cultures, sharing experiences, being open, exploring, diversity, acceptance and safety. Coushurfing is not a place for judgemental expression and insulting others because of their looks, age, nationality or culture. If you agree with me and accept my vision, start your message with the phrase "Couchsurfing spirit" if you decide to write to me. It would be extra plus if you explain what Coushurfing spirit is for you. If you don't put this phrase in your message most likely I will not reply you.
ABOUT MY APARTMENT
If you are interested in me hosting you please read this section. I have one bed in a private room and a sofa-like bed in a living room. I live in the Suarez area of Malaga - it's about 30 minutes on foot/by bus to the city center. It's a very local area with many good shops and supermarkets. During the night sometimes you can hear the noise of cars outside, therefore if you are sensitive during your sleep it's better you bring or buy earplugs (can be bought in pharmacy). Be aware that I don't host people who support the russian war in Ukraine.
RULES OF MY APARTMENT:
1. Don't smoke in my apartment, not even in the window. If you need to smoke, you have to go outside as I don't have a balcony.
2. Be energy sustainable. If it's hot and you need to use a fan, it's fine. If it's not hot or room has cooled enough or it's night (they are colder) please turn the fan off.
3. Leave the bathroom as it was before you used it. If you open the bottom lid - close it after using it.
4. Bring your own towel. I might have an additional towel for you but I can't promise that.
If you are going to send me the request start your message with "Слава Україні" or "Slava Ukraini", then I will understand that your read my profile carefully.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to travel in Ukraine, find a job in IT, play poker, become a feminist, read cyrilics, cook Ukrainian borshch, solve mathematic equations, interact with generative AI for achieving your goals, etc.
I want to learn how to organize my life effectively and not to live in a rush; how to be focused and persistent; how to make a passive income and get out from rat racing; how to find more time for something I truly enjoy; how to cook something tasty from different cuisines.
I can share my travel experience, my knowledge in different disciplines within my interests, and share the real picture of the situation in Ukraine (only if you are interested).
