Some may say that I'm a constant immigrant. I change cities and countries looking for the one I'd like to stay at. Even though I lived only in 4 countries (Ukraine, Estonia, France, and Italy), I don't plan to stop. And I already know pros and cons of living there, so don't hesitate to ask :)

I'm a passionate traveler and I love finding the "hidden gems" in the places I visit. As for now, my favorites cities are Paris and Florence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people I'd never meet otherwise!

Interests

I guess I'm a mix of my experience.
My Bachelor was in biophysics, so I love science deeply.
My Masters (and my career) is in intercultural communications; therefore, I like talking about culture, marketing, etc.
I've also dedicated a lot of time volunteering for an NGO, so local initiatives and projects inspire me.

I'm also a big fan of doing nothing, just sitting on the couch watching my TV series.
On my active days, I adore longboarding, biking, snowboarding and just long strolls. I hope to buy a skateboard soon and start exploring the skatepark next to my house in Paris :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Cashback, Mr. Nobody, The Boat That Rocked

Music: I listen pretty much to everything my Spotify offers. I'm not into rap, I prefer rock and pop. However, I had different musical stages in life: crazy Russian pop everyone listened to, rock and all sorts of metal bands (especially Finnish ones), post-rock.

Books: I read a lot, but I especially enjoy fantasy books. I was raised on Harry Potter books, I guess, it affected me :D
