If I were asked to describe myself in 5 points it would be:
- Friendly. I like to meet new interesting people and make new friends, I am sociable and easy in dialogue.
- Smiley. I believe that positive thoughts generate positive feelings and attract positive life experience. I always try to find something good in every situation and "keep smiling even when it`s raining" :)
- Active and full of energy. I love active leisure, I do sports at least 3-4 times a week, I like running, I enjoy cycling in spring-summer and skiing in winter. I like discovering something new that brings thrills and exciting emotions. I`ve tried myself in paragliding, diving, surfing...and it`s not the end :)
- Spontaneous (of course in good meaning :). I like spontaneous trips and adventures, I'm very easy-going. My friends tell me that I am like a generator of creative ideas.
- Honest (sometimes even too much :). For me honesty is one of the most valuable things in person. I adhere to the principle of the boomerang: if you want people to be honest with you, be honest with them first :)

I am 25 years old, live in Kiev and I can`t imagine my life without travelling and discovering new countries/cities and its culture. My favorite quote about travelling: "Sometimes one day spent elsewhere, gives more than a decade of life spent at home."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was a student me and my family have hosted international students, which came to Ukraine to study Russian language (agree, sounds a little strange :) for 5 years. It was amazing experience for me and we had a lot of fun in Kiev and other Ukrainian cities..and of course "baggage "of good memories. Now this programme is suspended, but I want to continue this good tradition and I'd be happy to help Kiev guests any way I can.

At the same time I like travelling a lot and I think couchsurfing it is good opportunity to meet new friends and to explore the new country and its culture from the inside. I've heard a lot about this tool before...(unfortunately, it was not popular very much in Ukraine as in Europe or other countries). So now I decide to use it in real life and be a part of it!)
