I am a philologist and an English teacher from Ukraine, currenlty volunteering in the Netherlands :) I love books, music and all kinds of spiritual and esoterical stuff; also i have a great interest in social justice issues like feminism, eco-activism, lgbtq+ and so on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my life goals is to travel as much as possible, because it broadens your worldview - literally and metaphorically :D And nothing helps to know the local culture more than staying with local people!
