I am Ukrainian and this is my superpower💙💛

I have a husband Daniil and we are a couple for more than 10 years. Kyiv is my hometown, where I grew up, studied, and lived till the war was started. Currently, we live in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. This is a lovely city with beautiful hills and ancient diggins. If you are here and I have the status "accepting guests" - we will be happy to host you. It's obvious but I have to mention that ruzzians are not welcome here.

As usual, I travel together with Danya but sometimes I enjoy solo trips. I like discovering the world and getting in touch with different cultures and people. I am deeply convicted that being open-minded to our diverse world is a must nowadays. Therefore I am so excited when I find out people with opposite\different opinions or backgrounds, these discussions and experience exchanges always bring fresh ideas into my life.

I am a doctor, and my specialty is pediatric anesthesiology. When I was a student I worked in emergency, and during my internship I was in the intensive care unit, so if you like creepy stories - just let me know:)
Currently, I work in clinical trials - an amazing and perspective area of medicine that I really enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to host and to surf

Interests

I have a pretty sporty life, and I am keen on trying something new. Please refer to my interest section for details, I add all types I have tried there - I am sure that we will find something in common😊

Another passion is reading - recently my goal was 50 books per year. And for two years in a row, I was successful in that. But later on, I realized that my goal was changed from quantity to quality and enjoyment. So it is still an important part of my life and I allow myself to savor a book as long as need that.

One more passion is nature and everything connected with it - walking in a forest, berries and mushrooms picking, hiking, camping.
