I am currently 20.

Before February 2018 I lived in my home city Odessa in the south of Ukraine, just at the Black Sea. Since February till June I have done my ERASMUS studies in Foggia, Italy (3rd year, languages). Besides studies I travelled a lot and got to know Italy to a very large extent (up to the moment I have visited 31 Italian city).

Now I am back home, in Ukraine.

I am fond of sports (swimming, cycling, football), music, food, drinking with a good company, learning new languages, travelling (even not far), reading, video and board games, photography, even doing a bit of gardening.

I try to be friendly towards the environment, ecology is very interesting for me.

I am a qualified guitarist, I like flamenco music.

I can drive a car.

Languages: my mother tongue is Russian, I did my school studies in Ukrainian, my school was specialized in French language and I graduated from it with honours, I am C1 at English, I took up Italian in January and reached a B1 in June, I have basic knowledge of Spanish, I have been studying German for two years at my university.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I came to Couchsurfing due to simple reasons - I am fond of travelling, meeting new people, getting to know the world and thus getting to know myself better!
By the moment I haven't hosted anybody because I didn't have any place for travellers, but in July I .ill try to solve this inconvenience.
