I am a college student from Ukraine, studying in Concordia College in NY. I am a business administration major and planning to go into real estate brokerage. I am junior and playing on a nationally -ranked college tennis team. Have been playing tennis since 6 years old. My real passion is skiing. Have been doing it since 8 years old, and from then on cannot see my life without it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel like I have outlived hotels. They do not give real cultural experience and sense of home. Would like to travel around the world on a budget in order to broaden up my view about other countries and its' people.
