22 -year-old girl from Lviv.

Traveling is a great opportunity to find yourself, fight with your own disadvantages, become better, share experiences(and having fun of course). That's why I'm here.
Just try to be in harmony with the world, not only to take, but to give.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to understand a new city is to live outside of a hostel or hotel. The best way step out of the comfort zone is to find a common language with different personalities. I want to collect stories and of course, find friends or like-minded people.

Also inspired by Ukrainian poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove 31 hours in a hot train because of the project "Wiz-Art On Tour"(cultural dialogue between the east and west of Ukraine).
It was a wonderful experience in the eastern Ukraine: Konstantinovka, Mariupol, Kirillovka (gray zone). I like feeling useful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can be a good listener. Moreover, we can cook vegetarian salads(by the way I'm a vegetarian for three years) or drink wine.

Could be useful for people who are learning Ukrainian or Russian, or who are interested in Ukrainian culture!
