Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to surf around Ukraine, Belarus, Russia to open up more of their wonderful people and sites =). I would love to continue exploring Europe, visit Middle East and Africa.
Visiting big cities, small towns and villages from an insider's perspective, and getting real experience is crucial ;)
So, I am happy to go out together, visiting the places you like, playing your local games, cooking together or sharing my Ukrainian cuisine!!
I may help you with English/French/German/Russian/Ukrainian. If you have children from 3 and older, I am glad to play together :))

I would also love to hang out and meet new people whenever I am: should it be a new place or my hometown Kharkiv ;)
