About Me

I'm a student at Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University in Ukraine and I study German, English, French, Spanish. I teach small children German and also entertain them. You can ask me:"Why are you learning so many foreign languages?" Because I love to communicate with people from foreign countries, to discover new things, collect memories and that's why I'm a travel addict. I use it to be inspired to write journalism essays, so besides that I'm studying journalism too. I am in a student community at my university and I always organize projects, competitions like brain games. I also love to volunteer. Once I volunteered for a ecology project and also for a literature festival where I hosted participants from Austria. I am always open for new things and experiences, love meeting new people and making new friends. I'm a very extrovert person and have many friends. I love to read books, watching movies, writing poems. I love to present ukrainian culture, share our tradition for example: ukrainian food, songs etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can't think of a better way of learning something about a new country than to stay with native citizens.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite book is: " Pride and prejudice" by Jane Austen, " Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, The Harry Potter franchise .
I addicted to watching movies and I can' t choose one or two favourite movies because I have so many that I love and it is impossible for me to choose.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*Climbed the roof in Venezia
*Hitchhiked in the night from Amsterdam to Paris (600 km)
* Hitchhiked in the night from Eindhoven to Groningen

Teach, Learn, Share

It is very difficult to teach children German, because they forget everything very fast, and for me it is amazing when I see that they can understand what I explain them and when they begin to speak or write properly. I feel that I do something useful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of stories about Ukrainian history and culture.
