CURRENT MISSION

Ukrainian living in Sweden with my beloved husband :)

ABOUT ME

I can divide my life into two periods: adventurous student life in Ukraine and the life after it - time when I moved to Scandinavia to live with my boyfriend :). I'm originally from Lviv city but currently living in a small town in Uppsala county.

Living in Ukraine I was often taking part in various events, such as dance performances and voluntary projects - and all the time met only amazing and interesting people! I hope to meet the same fun people through CS events in Stockholm, that's why I try to attend meetings on CS as much as I can.

Traveling in my home country Ukraine is the thing I really enjoy! Ukraine has so many picturesque places - just come and see! I adore my hometown Lviv so if you're traveling there feel free to ask me anything about it. I hope I can give you pieces of advice so you can feel more comfortable in this city.

PHILOSOPHY

BE YOURSELF and STAY POSITIVE

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Personal or weekly CS meetings in Lviv and Stockholm. I hosted several people from different countries in Lviv, we hanged around a lot and it was awesome! Unfortunately, I don't host travelers in Sweden because I live in a little town far away from Stockholm.

I love meeting locals when I'm traveling to another country because this is the way to find out more about their culture and local traditons. Also, it's always been great to get advice about local meals/drinks and even non-touristic places.

I like to help if I can, learn and share, that's why I'm on CS. If you're curious, you can see some pics with my CS friends on my profile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first hitchhiking experience in Ukraine where we met such kind-hearted people that we even couldn't imagine.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love the quote "the more languages you know, the more you are a person". Folks, it's really an unbelievable feeling if you can speak a few languages! Though, it's a really hard work but it worth it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My stories, positive energy with smile and a souvenir :). We can also cook food together.
