Hello everyone! We are Vitaliy and Valerie from Kiev, Ukraine. I work in IT and Valerie is english and math private teacher for kids. But I do not like office job very much and often dreaming about places i have never been before.

Vitaliy is liittle bit shy and his english is not very good, but Valerie is very positive and comunicable person and her english is almost perfect.

We are not open-minded or easy-going persons!

We like motorcycle traveling, from 2010 we have great trip almost every year (vitokro.blogspot.com)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is cool way to meet interesting people.

OUR CS EXPERIENCE (you are NOT required to read this):
The hardest thing was to find our first host.

2) Family from beautiful town in Italy - Montebello.
3) Ainara & Sonia from Irun, Spain.
4) David from Betanzos, Spain.
5) Lauries from Cernay, Alsace, France
6) Family from Nowy Sącz, Poland

Surfers:
1) David from Betanzos, Spain.
2) Costas from Cyprus(TA 700)
3) Fatih from Istanbul(CRF 1000)
4) Amir and Larisa from Varazdin, Croatia(NC700X)

Someone deleted his profile, so some references has been deleted as well.

For us to find interesting people is more important than to find a free couch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1)We escaped with my parents from bombing village during war2022

2) found a host without any references and any expirience of CS. It was really hard.

Teach, Learn, Share

Valerie can teach music notes and school math and Vitaliy can repair or tune computers, show how to propagate ficuses.
Vitaliy was working as motorcycle instructor for three years and he may give you a couple of lessons how to ride a moto.
Also we can share some drinks and conversations about other countries and cultures.
We like to learn another languagues.
