I'm a Ukrainian girl, who loves linguistics, travelling and meeting new people. I was studying German and English in the university in Lviv, but suddenly I ended up in Germany as a volunteer. I work in the school garden and canteen 5/2, and my free time is dedicated to learning German language, culture and food (mostly food).

I live to get new experience and make discoveries in my life. It’s a reason why I tried out so many hobbies and did so many weird things.

There are some things I LOVE and can do well: bicycling, hitchhiking, playing chess and table tennis, gardening, handmade, touching my nose with my tongue, cooking (and eating), cuddling with pets and cute buddies, making presents (and getting ones), volunteering, hugging, laughing etc.

There are some things I HATE: running, playing volleyball, tickling, drinking milk, eating melons, aggression, discrimination, stupid stereotypes, fantasy books, etc.

I was born and raised as a very modest and shy child, but I’m trying to be more open and talkative. When the atmosphere is warm and friendly, I enjoy long conversations and discuss all sorts of topics without hesitation. I'm always curious to know more about my hosts/guests, so tell me something about your life!:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After all the trips I had I understood that it's not enough for me just to see the cities without communicating to the locals. After the youth exchange in the USA I found out that the best way to notice the beauty of the country is to ask people who live there for some advices. I think that Couchsurfing is connecting people and making them closer in this big world!
