About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I adore freedom! Therefore my current mission now is to live without borders in our countries and in our minds

ABOUT ME

I like to dream and my dreams come true!
Inspiration is something that helps me to be happy. I'm trying to do everything with passion and inspiration.

PHILOSOPHY

I belive, that the key element of personal freedom is ability to act spontanuasly.
Also I prefer to give something, before receiving something from this life. This makes life more vivid and fullfilled.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In May 2009 my friend, who is experienced Couch Surfer, adviced me to register on this service. I would like to make couchsurfing more active and more popular in different regions of Ukraine. Therefore, by sharing my CS experience in social media I have involved to the community some members of my NGO (Foundation of Regional Initiatives).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first one happened in USA, when in NY all hostels were fulfilled and I had to find place to sleep during 2 nights.
Firstly I went to the Ukrainian diaspora region (East Village) trying to explain, that I'm not an illegal migrant and need just place to sleep for 2 nights, but...no help there.
So, I contacted Liat (my NY angel, who I knew since summer school on human and minority rights in Germany and Poland) and she kindly hosted me. It was amazing and very positive experience.

Coushsurfing helped me to find Ira Biletska - the architecturer from Ukraine, who builds eco-houses. We built the eco-house on the yard of the agrarian college together with the students and members of the Eurobus (www.eurobus.org.ua) project
