I'm a dreamer from a beautiful and hospitable country of Ukraine. I'm working as a freelance English to Russian/Ukrainian translator and I enjoy it.
So far I've been blessed to travel to a number of beautiful countries, where I met amazing people and learnt a lot about myself. Life is better when you travel, so I'm always putting my energy into trying to make another adventure happen :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of people helping and trusting each other and being kind to each other. It inspires us to make something good for other people and makes the world a better place.

I've managed to change my mother's attitude to travelling :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you like telling stories, I'll be a grateful listener, and if you need privacy, I can be quiet as a mouse :)
