About Me

At the moment I’ve moved to Dublin under temporary protection, once I’ll have my place - will host again ❤️
_______________________________________________________

My Dream is to create the world where every person feels fulfilled and loved.

I enjoy meeting new people because everyone is unique in his/her experience! It means that I can learn from you and you can learn from me - that's the best way to gain new experience, I think.

I have different hobbies in art and self-development. I draw with watercolours, read books, learn languages, play the ukulele, do yoga (oh how much I love it!) and many other things. And if you like anything of these - we will definitely have fun together.

I am Ukrainian from Kyiv living in Budapest for my studies for 5 years almost. In May, I'm moving to Dublin, so I won't be able to host in Budapest anymore - let's see how it goes there.
I'll be happy to make new friends and do some cool crazy things together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess the best way to understand the culture is talking to people who belong to it. That's why I'm here to see the world with others and share my culture with everyone.

I'm looking forward to new adventures with those who share my values :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love business books, popular psychology and different classical books - and, of course, I'm always open to new suggestions.

As for movies I prefer some hipster movies with the dramatic ending. My favourites are "Big Fish" and "Captain Fantastic"

I used to listen to a lot of old-school music. Now I prefer Indie, not forgetting the beloved AC/DC and things like that, you know. Also listening to things like Florence & the Machine, Lumineers, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I danced on the Cliffs of Moher under rain
I hosted more than 30 refugees over the span of the half-year of war.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some Ukrainian dishes and I'll be really glad to learn from you too!
We can practice some new languages or draw together outside.
I also love to talk about culture, values and opinions on the different subject especially society-related :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my yoga skills, or play the guitar together and sing. I can make borsch (traditional Ukrainian soup - only vegetarian version) or share some cool stories :)
Also I'm a mindfulness meditation teacher - if you'd like to try that.
