About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to get maximum from this life. Live the passion. Take the risk.

ABOUT ME

I'm a journalist by education, social media manager by profession, artist by passion, traveller by living.

Open-minded, friendly, self-confident and sometimes crazy. As my friend told me "two opposite qualities of character such as maturity and madness were incredibly united" in me :)

PHILOSOPHY

Everything I do is for the best even if it seems to be not so good. I try to see the best side in problems because only troubles make us stronger - I've already felt it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

You can GET the country when you GET the locals. You'll understand the culture only when connect with people.
I connect with the world and happy to show Ukraine because it's really deserving attention!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just the best experience - all people I meet due to couchsurfing are amazing and give me a lot of thoughts to think about

Interests

Art.
I paint in watercolor, pastel, pen. Love experimenting with style.
I launched an art project, created online course about watercolor painting and organize art-events.

Dance.
I'm crazy about salsa. People think I'm latino. I should of been born in a Latin country. Ask me to dance in the middle of nowhere, at the waterfall or bus station - I will!
Also dance hip hop, juzz-funk etc.

Travel
I'm crazy nuts when it comes to adventure.
Let's say I was adopted by a thai family and lived in their house for 4 months, hitchhiked through the whole country from the island to Bangkok, spent more than 50 hours in buses in Laos streets and way more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I cannot say specifically - I'm a movielover, like watching films with a deep sense (not one-time films).
Music is very important for my internal state.

Favourite books: Cruel intentions, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Notre Dame de Paris, Martin Eden, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, Suriname, Shantaram

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

living with a thai family, volunteering in a socailly responsible company, hitchhiking through the whole Thailand...eemmmm...

...I started to type.. but then understood that I' won't have enough day-time to type that all. Better ask me in person :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Russian or Ukrainian and not only bad words! lol
I can share my art skills with you or have some salsa practice if u are up for it

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories. Looots of crazy stories.
Art. It's my passion. Do you want to learn watercolor? :)
I can salsa you to death. It's my another passion.
And just positive energy!
