I am a person, who loves nature and calm lifestyle, enjoying everyday beauty. Have visited 16 countries and seen a lot in my native Ukraine. I am really into North Europe nature and cultures. My dreams countries to visit are Ireland, Iceland, Norway, and Finland. We live together with my dog and boyfriend near Kyiv city, capital of Ukraine. Depending on the mood this is the same joy for me to spend the weekend with a book at home / camping / exploring new places. My motto is "Life is a journey itself".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS for me is a way to get a place for a night together with 'deep-diving' into people living abroad (culture, environment, stereotypes, home design etc.), practice English, found out places, usually hidden from tourists, together with the locals. The same time, I would be happy if can tell you something new about Ukraine and Eastern Europe culture, as well as get something interesting from CS hosts. It would be a great pleasure to help with unbored sightseeing someone, who comes to Kyiv, have a good time together and get a bit of new experience

Interests

I like traveling, reading, cycling, outdoor activities, handmade, home designing and much more. I am interested in Slavonic and Scandinavian cultures, amazed by old cities of Europe and nature. Sometimes I try to paint or write stories. Like to listen to the stories and thoughts of other people, like how different languages sound
