Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love foreign cultures and we like to dig deep into other country's societies. We like to understand their style of living and compare it to other regions.
we like traveling, communication with new cool people and new experience
We always had good experiences, meeting funny people from all over the world. It´s the best way to get to know different cultures, mindsets, and experiences of people from all over the world. And this is what Couchsurfing is all about.
We don't want to be passive tourists, which follow a checklist of places and buildings to see and to take a picture. For us traveling is so much more about the people you meet on the road rather than the tourist attractions you see!
We simply immerse in other cultures while working for a good cause. Simple living close to nature makes our soul happy. Couchsurfing is for us a way to travel more consciously while exploring cities.

Interests

Both of us have quite different interests but both of us are passionate about an active life like hiking, kayaking, and any other active activity! We love yoga and meditation, desk games, wine, exhibitions, theatre, and chill music.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ukrainian or Russian, some French or Polish.

I know that really cool people are gathered here on CouchSurfing. I would love to continue friendship after our meeting, if we have common interests, we have something to discuss, and we feel closeness.
I have already found friends on CS with whom I met many times after our acquaintance, there are friends with whom I provide business, with whom we exchange photos or with whom we just give likes in Instagram.

This is very important and very valuable about CS.
