Hey! I'm so glad to be finally here =) I'm a working mom and wife, raising the multilingual 6 years son in the OPOL method (one parent one language), being in Ukraine, I speak to my kid only in English or in Spanish since his birth. Since he's a fluent speaker in different languages, now I want to reveal to him the practical part - this world!!!

I have been working as a support customer representative at the US company, shift job. The main task is to leave all the customers satisfied with the product, talking via chat and phone with the native speakers throughout the world. I love it! And it gives me the possibility to travel =)

As a hobby - I am the main organizator of the bilingual families in Ukraine. I have been creating different meetings, excursions, master classes , English trips, family camps and homeschool classes. The mommies who want to raise their kids bilingual have a great support from our closed group and inspiration from the Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/englishmommies/

If you have a kid, that would be just a perfect visit! I can play with them in English and Spanish, I'm more than sure that they would be great friends with our son Bogdan!

My husband is a very sociable and easy going person! He's the one who understands English 100%, but will need a little practice in English (since he's the one who talks Ukrainian to the son). He's the builder, so, if you need some construction assistance in your place, he will be out of help!

We love music, good movies, new places and experience! I play piano =) We will be looking forward to seeing you in our place as well! We live in the capital of Ukraine at the moment - Kyiv, but have a perfect parents place in the West of Ukraine - Volyn region, where will be able to accept the foreign guests!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to investigate this world! To feel it each city but not in the classic hotel way, however staying in the host families preferable with the kids!
