My name is Olha or Ola for short (sounds like a Spanish "Hi", so it`s easy to memorize). I was born and raised in Ukraine then moved to Poland to do my BA degree. I am an active, positive, sarcastic, funny, easy-going and sometimes crazy person who likes to meet new people, explore new countries, learn about various cultures and make unforgettable memories. I can describe myself as an open-mined and tolerant human being. Also, I am very curious and want to know as much as possible about our world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and make new friends, get to know other culture and show mine. I think that Couchsurfing is a great assistant in it. Nowadays people have an enormous number of opportunities of cultural exchange. And Couchsurfing is a wonderful experience for everyone!:) I have used Couchsurfing a couple of times and I absolutely love it! I would like to continue meeting locals and make friends all around the world.

Interests

I adore traveling. To my mind, it helps me to broaden my mind, gain a very useful experience, explore our unusual world, and also it inspires me so much. Besides traveling, I like to take pictures, dance, watch different films and read books.
