I like to travel and meet new people because it is the best way to learn about the culture of different nations and to question your own thoughts and beliefs. I like live music, especially jazz. Each time I have a chance to go to a new place, I use it. I am originally from Ukraine but lived in Colombia, Mexico, the Netherlands, France, Turkey, and the USA. Also, I love animals, especially cats. I love different discussions and debates (in case you like to see an issue from different sides)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and I think it's a great place to meet people who can show what the country truly is about, the real face of the city, not just a fancy picture from Google. I also believe that locals can help you make your trip better by spending time with you, showing you around or maybe even sharing their house or just giving you some useful tips.

Interests

I liked pole dance some time ago but stopped going to classes when my teacher moved to another city. Also, I like languages and can communicate in Russian, Ukrainian, English, French, and Spanish. Apart from that, I love watching movies and have even been an extra a few times for Netflix and Hollywood production. My other passion is food and coffee. I love trying new cuisine and tasting local alcohol (at least one sip just to know what it tastes like).

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies, lots of them. I really enjoy "The Legend of 1900", "P.S. I love you", "After the dark", "Mona Lisa smile", "Whiskey, tango, foxtrot" etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have gone skydiving in 2011. I have also swum with sharks in 2021.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you my experience of traveling, and give you tips about places I visited)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you my language, play the piano with you, discuss movies, tell funny stories and help you organize the space in your apartment or travel bag (I am quite good at that, but not professional)
