CURRENT MISSION

Trying to understand who I am, being kind to other people and staying true to myself.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, open and open-minded person, I like meeting new people and discovering the world. I can be shy, but once I know the person better, I become talkative and really open. I used to be socially awkward I guess, but now it's becoming better.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, get lost in the beauty of everything I see, appreciate the world.

Interests

I like walking, cycling, reading books and enjoying the present moment. I love being in the countryside, but need the energy and fast pace of big cities too. I like people, talking to them, trying to understand them and see what their life is like. Besides everything mentioned above, I love taking pictures, learning new things, and enjoying life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Became best friends with the person from the other side of the world whom I met on the Internet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn about other people and their lives: who they are, what they do, what they believe in and what choices they make in life. I grew up in Ukraine, lived in Estonia for 4 years, interested in mindfulness and learning to hear one’s inner voice, studying coaching, and before that worked as a software engineer and a manager in an IT company. I will be glad to share my perspective on any of the topics above.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will be happy to talk about life, mindfulness, finding yourself - or I can talk about more down-to-Earth things like world politics, what it's like to work as a software engineer, about life in Ukraine and / or Estonia.
