"Who am I? Do you mean… where I’m from? What I one day might become? What I do? What I’ve done? What I dream? Do you mean… what you see? What you see or what I’ve seen? What I fear or what I dream? Do you mean who I love? Do you mean what I’ve lost? WHO AM I? I guess who I am is exactly the same as who you are. Not better than. Not less than. Because there is no one who has been or will ever be exactly the same as either you or me"

I couldn't omit using this perfect answer from Sense8, TV series I love with all my heart.

I am coming from Ukraine. I don't know what one day I might become and I am in peace with that as I try to live in the moment and value present rather than worry about future. In one month I will change my job and will start doing something that sounds exiting to me. I will be Project Lead at the small company called Funding Box. I also dance a lot, it is my big passion and a second mother tongue, through my body movement I can say so much.. I try to heal myself from all the things that happened in my life and that made me feel worthless and not enough and I am proud to say I am doing so much better and becoming much happier on daily basis. I have been to amazing places, I have met very inspiring people and I have felt better and more peaceful being close to nature. I have started my way with art through guitar playing, singing, acting and ended up becoming a waacking dancer. I have visited music festivals, concerts, dance competitions, workshops. I dream about living a happy and healthy life, surrounded by kind people and soulmates. I dream about spending some time travelling around the world and not caring about stability. You cannot see me yet, but I will definitely give you a chance to get you know me if you want to. At the moment my fear is war, as for the first time I have experienced it on my own skin while being worried for my family and for all the innocent people who suffer in vain. I love the family that gave me birth and raised me, I love all the people who became my family after I was born. I have lost the chance to see my beautiful country before it was destroyed as I moved to Poland 8 years ago, but I am hoping to go to Ukraine after the war is finally over.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People give me so much energy and inspiration, that I don't want to just travel and see places, I also want to meet them and build connections.
