Hey!

My name is Valeriya, born in Kiew Ukraine and grew up in Vienna. I am currently living and studying law (master level) in Zurich, Switzerland. Beside studying and working, I enjoy traveling, good company, music and dancing (Lindy Hop, Swing Jazz). As former professional athlete, sporting activities are part of my everyday life, but I have to admit that I am not that disciplined anymore :)
Mostly all the countries I’ve visited with my sports team and consequently haven’t seen much from them. Now I want to change that and start exploring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a professional athlete will remain in my memories as something special

Teach, Learn, Share

I would share my skills in:
- swimming & synchronised swimming
- weight lifting if you are a beginner in the gym I would give you all the basic moves to prevent injuries
- German for beginners
- introduction to Russian
- Lindy hop beginners (pair dance jazz)
- cooking
- of course I would give you a hand in doing the chores

If I could speak French with you my future host it would wonderful!
