I'm Marina, a native of Ukraine hailing from the picturesque city of Irpin. By profession, I'm an interior designer, and I find immense joy in bringing beauty and functionality to living spaces.

Beyond my design work, I'm a fervent enthusiast of medieval reenactment. It's not just a hobby; it's a passionate journey into the past, where I can immerse myself in the rich history and traditions of bygone eras.

One of my greatest passions in life is exploring the world. Traveling is not merely a pastime; it's a way for me to collect experiences and memories. Whether it's the serene lull of the sea, the majestic allure of mountains, or the mystical charm of forests, I find solace and inspiration in the embrace of nature.

However, my love for travel doesn't stop with the natural world. I'm also captivated by the artistry of old, grand architectural wonders. The intricate details and timeless beauty of ancient structures never fail to mesmerize me.

In essence, I'm on a perpetual quest to discover the diverse beauty and wonders of our world, all while infusing creativity into the spaces I design.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to explore new places not as a typical tourist, but to truly understand a location from the perspective of the people who call it home.

Interests

From a young age, I began to express myself through art, which eventually led me to fall in love with architecture. As I grew older, I found a community of individuals who were deeply passionate about medieval reenactment, and I started attending festivals where I could immerse myself in that world, even trying my hand at archery and recreating period clothing. In addition to my creative pursuits, I'm an avid gamer, finding solace and enjoyment in the digital realms as a way to unwind after challenging days. Dancing, however, holds a special place in my heart; it's not just a hobby but a therapeutic release that allows me to express myself and find solace.
