Hello whoever reads this! I am a 20 years old girl who lives in Ukraine's the most beautiful city - Lviv. It is very tourist city, but I like it, because sometimes considering myself a tourist in my own city makes me discover it from another side. Traveling makes me feel more confident and safe, that's why I like it!
Here's some info about me: linen, curly hair, handmade earrings, postcards, fig, taize prayers and campfire songs, camp dances, board games - just say one of those words and I will be there. I love taking care of children and disabled, because I believe that they are a strong source of love and sincerity. I like everything about Italy - their food, style, behavior, but it's a pity I don't speak the language:( I get very excited when there is a discussion about human rights and environmental issues, but promise to keep calm! I am discovering my spirituality and try to live my best to be closer to God. One negative thing about me: impatient about what I am doing - if it gets boring, I can give up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every time I travel to a new country and stay in a hotel - I feel that I am loosing something. One time I travelled to Basel, Switzerland and lived in a host family for a few days. It was much better then, because I understood that what I was missing was a simple communication with locals. Our world is full of wonderful people - I don't want to waste a single time with no trying to get to know them!

Interests

1) I try to take my camera everywhere - it always takes a looot of place in my backpack, but it's better to carry it all the trip than lose a possibility to make wonderful photos.
2) Once I was a volunteer at TEDx conference - had to note speeches quickly and write posts about it. Hard, but I learned how structure my thoughts quickly and clearly.
3) For a long time thought that I am cat lover but no - cute dogs are my weakness.
4) I love all Italian food, but baked artichokes are my fave.
5) Studied computer science but decided to change my main subject to sociology. I am not saying it's easier to live now, but definitely more interesting:)
6) A big fan of Friends series.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: don't make me do that! In my playlist I have party remixes, but also some calm music for relaxation. Now I enjoy listening to George Ezra and Ben Howard.
Movies: documentary "Human", Babylon, Woody Allen films (we all need magic in our lives).
Books: "Eat, pray, love" may seem a little humdrum, but I found the right time in my life to read it, that's why now this book is my inspiration; "God always travels incognito".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Prepared ratatouille (believe me, for my cooking skills this is amazing).
Parachuted for the first time by myself.
