Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

We have traveled a lot and know that it is impossible to understand country without people who lives in.
We get to meet so many people from all over the world and it is possible to have invitations to go as far away from your home.
We are interested in cultural exchanges, sharing, and like to think that even if you cannot change the world, you can still contribute and try to make it a better place. So we are trying :D

Centres d'intérêt

I (Tetiana) together with husband try to spend every vacation out of our country. It should be new place or lovely previous place. We like traveling by car. We have visited Italy, France, Finland and Sweden by our lovely Subaru.

When we are in Kiev we like reading books, fishing, ride a bicycle, and try to spend every weekend out of home.

I really like to plan my future trips. In May our work team has vacation. Last years I created trips for groups. I mean for me and my coworkers. My plans usually organized and exact :) If you want to see a lot in short time you need to plan your trip before. All things like fly tickets, hotels or private flats, rent cars, find parking places, nice places, book tasting or tours, buying tickets for concerts or cabaret, etc should be managed. And when I am on this trip it is really amazing feeling :)

I am fan of rhythmic gymnastics. When my daughter was child she started her career as sportsmen and for now she is coach. I supported her all this period. We helped to organize our team traveling for participating in tournaments, design and creation team costumes and I made a lot of personal costumes with 4000 Swarovski stones and with pictures on material. We like watching tournaments in TV and if we have tournament in Kiev we will be there all days:)
