Hi. My name is Nataly. I am 25 years old. I am from Ukraine. I lived in Kiev, studied and worked as a tourist guide. But once I decided to change my life completely. I left everything in 2015 and went traveling. I've lived in Thailand for almost a year, and then I moved to China. And now it's been more than 2 years since I've started living my dream-life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a cool way to meet people if u r traveling alone. Most people on Couchsurfing r very open-minded and like to travel, that's why you've always got things to discuss.

Interests

Traveling, meditation, meeting new people and sharing experience, reading, hiking, partying and challenging myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reggae music, deep house and listening to mantras. I love horror movies. My favorite writer is Steven King. The last book I've read was "Shantaram", that's why I wanna live in India for some time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🎈Quit my job, left everything what I had at home, chose a country and went to explore the world. After one year has passed, I can definitely say, that I've acquired much more then I've left at home. And I will keep on traveling from place to place, until I see everything what earth can offer :)
🎈 One day I was sitting in my apartment in Thailand, and I thought that I've seen a lot in this country and now I wanna move somewhere. I opened the map, and thought why not China 😁 I didn't know much about it at that time- and it was a good reason to go and to explore 👍🏻

Teach, Learn, Share

In Thailand I've done meditation retreat in the Buddhist monastery. I can share my experience of living in the monastery and following monks' schedule and way of life. Also It was 10 days of meditation practice and Buddha's teaching.
