ABOUT ME
Hello Couchsurfers!
My name is Anna. I am 30 years old. I’m a journalist and I like to meet new people and discover new counties.
I live in Kyiv, the capital in Ukraine.
My couchsurfing story started 5 years ago, when my friends and I visited beautiful Istanbul.
When you speak with people, who lives in the country that you discovered, is the best way understand the culture and lifestyle. Moreover, it’s very simple and amazing.

If you planned to travel to Ukraine, I will be glad to help you! I think you’ll like our traditional dishes. If you want, I’ll help to learn Ukrainian too.
Have a nice day and see you later.

Music, Movies, and Books

I must confess that I’m a music fan. I like different styles of music from classic and jazz to hip-hop, folk, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In New Year’s Eve I hurried to the train. But in my city has dropped a lot of snow. I had to wade through snowdrifts to the stop. The weather was so unfavorable that the buses and taxis did not go to the railway station. So, I try to hitch the car and I did it. The driver dropped me to the railway station and haven't taken the money in honor of the holiday. One cannot deny that I was very happy and lucky.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ll teach you Ukrainian and Russian with pleasure. I could make a Master Class of cooking traditional Ukrainian dishes. Perhaps, if you want to share recipes and traditions in your country it will be helpful for me.
I'm curious to know other languages. I speak English quite well, but I always need to practice to improve it. Nevertheless, I like watch TV series in English, for example, “Scandal”, “House of Cards”, etc.
