Hello everyone!

You can call me Lana. I'm a student in Ukraine. Currently I am doing European Volunteering Service in Gaziantep, Turkey. Mainly, I am teaching English, working with children and participating in activities organised by local youth association.
Moreover, I am traveling around Turkey by hitchhiking, exploring Turkish culture and enjoying breathtaking adventures.

I am interested in international issues, culture, world religions and everything concerning the Middle East.

Previously, I had an internship in a NGO in Cairo, Egypt, working in a sphere of social entrepreneurship.

Traveling around my homeland, visiting foreign countries and living in some of them provided me with a lot of stories, life experiences and helpful information I would like to share with everyone.

I am looking forward to meeting new friends, getting to know more about everything around as well as exchanging impressions about life and especially traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To open the world not through tourist agencies but thanks to communication with locals, feeling of cultural interaction and friendly atmosphere like at home.
