This is probably the most cliche thing to tell in this community but I love travelling. Meeting new people, exploring different cultures, sharing perspectives and learning about different ways of seeing the world - those are the things that make life bright, colorful, and worth living. I am from Ukraine but currently I'm doing my Master's in the U.S. (studying linguistic and cognitive anthropology). I haven't traveled outside of Europe much, except Egypt and quite a few places in the U.S. But I want to add "yet" to this statement. There are so many places to see in this world, so many people to meet, and so many stories to hear. So I'd say my journey is just starting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've done couchsurfing only once when I visited a beautiful island of Madeira and it was a truly great experience. Unfortunately I do not have an opportunity to host people right now, but I am definitely planning to do it in future.
