About Me

ABOUT ME
I am interested in social business, communication, art and design; popularizing ukrainian culture and active citizenship.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met such great souls through CS, I'm a big fan and self proclaimed ambassador of this community. I share my experiences and motivate people not to be afraid of other people and try it ;)
I hope I'm friendly and helpful; I like getting to know other people; I aim at meeting open-minded people, who work for better world, let's break boundaries and walls!
I haven't been active for a few years, now hope to catch up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Translated healing sessions led by a spiritual master

Teach, Learn, Share

I love communicating about culture, social issues, history and future. And I love singing to youtube videos with lyrics. I love cooking with hosts/guests, trying traditional homemade wines and liquors.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live with my husband Serhii in a small appartment. We hardly have any furniture, no doors, so you will have to bring a sleeping bag with you and sleep on the floor. We can cook together, I like to learn new easy and quick recipes, but don't like mess in the kitchen. If I have time, I can offer a city tour, a talk, a visit to the theatre, meeting with friends, watching a movie, etc. We can be really busy and therefore not accept any guests, so ask in advance.
