I am passionate about nature conservation, the magic of sunsets (I got a thing for beautiful colours) and travelling. I always try to combine my journeys with learning - a tasty national dish, a few phrases, a local friend to learn from about life.

I also love flying, which is not so enviro-friendly just yet, but it simply makes me happy.

I like open-minded and open-hearted people who are keen on sharing stories and experiences.

*UPDATE: I am not hosting anyone at the moment, but may be available for meet ups*

PHILOSOPHY

Kindness and compassion may take you to unimaginably beautiful places and people.
Striving to go not so much off-grid as off-greed.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Throughout the years I discovered that people here tend to be really nice, interesting and adventurous. Hoping to match this tendency myself.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music: wide range of styles, difficult to pick only a few, though pop-rock, metal, and classical music are most often on the list.
Movies: I love comedies, fantasy, crime&mystery movies, documentaries.
Books: my favorite are adventures and mystery fiction, occasionally I dive into popular science and research related to cognitivistics, behaviour and all things mind-related

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Feeding aye-ayes, cuddling lemurs and playing with tamarins (I've basically lived at a zoo for 3 months, no kidding), glacier walking and seeing an unspeakable number of craters and waterfalls in Iceland, getting a taste of piloting of a small plane, surviving 2016.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you some essential Ukrainian, we can also practice Polish, English, Spanish, maybe Finnish (though by now I forgot almost everything I knew). Also, if you need suggestions for cosy or interesting places in Kyiv or Helsinki (or nature admiration destinations in Ukraine or Finland), I have some in mind. In any case, if you think I can help you somehow - feel free to reach out.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

My company, a room (if I can host and my living conditions allow), food and life stories.
