I'm Vicky. I'm coming to spend about a year in Panajachel, Guatemala, so will be happy to make friends here.

I was born and raised in Ukraine; and then started ... living in other countries. I usually don't travel as a tourist; more often for work, but most of all I love visiting or travelling with friends: it's the best kind of time-spending.

I love Africa, getting to know people, going places, I love the Lord, and I'd be happy to meet you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been here forever it seems. Couchsurfing is one of the most useful and awesome online communities I've known. I always welcomed couchsurfers at my place when I could, and I was hosted by Couchsurfers so many times in so many places. I'm really thankful for all these experiences CS gave me over the years, they would have never been possible without Couchsurfing.

Interests

I like taking a walk, the outside, sports, learning new things. I like art, visiting an expo, a theatre play or an interesting museum, or an amusement park. I know nothing about partying, clubbing or dancing though. I like volunteering, but most of all: just learning about people and their lives, and making friends.
