ABOUT ME

I was born in Ukraine, grew up is a small city in Russia, then moved to Moscow to study and after the graduation I moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for work, where I currently live (it has been 5 years!). So I move around the world all the time and I love it, because the experience you get from the life abroad and travels is priceless! I work as a reservoir engineer in a local consultancy company, in my spare time I love to do sports, visit concerts and theatre plays, art exhibitions, travel and of course party with my friends (who became now my big big family).

I am quite easy going person, smiling and friendly (despite being russian haha). I love to meet people from all over the world and learn languages, because I'm sure a language is a key to exploring the culture!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a great opportunity to connect with beautiful people all over the world!

Interests

I am constantly exploring different activities and so far I tried and loved hiking, rock climbing, yoga, running, theatre classes, learning languages (French, Spanish), horse riding, painting, dance classes. There are so many things in the world to try!
Recently got passionate about coffee - visiting lots of coffee shops, learning to make the "pour over" one as well!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Three billboards near Ebbing, Missouri (one of the best for a long time!), Caotica Ana, Melancholia, Mother, Eat pray love, Molly Bloom

Music: I can listen to everything from pop, rock to jazz and bossa nova, it is all about current mood and present moment

Books: Dandelion Wine, 451 Fahrenheit, Just Kids, M Train, Little Prince, The Source, A little life, Russian classical literature - Chekhov, Bulgakov, Tolstoy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
