Hi, I'm from Ukraine. It's a beautiful country worth visiting and seeing with your own eyes.
I am interpretor by education. Live with my family (my husband, my 11 year old daughter, dog and two cats)) in a private house in the suburbs of Kiev (25 km). My husband is photographer. We run a family business for 18 years already. It's the first school of photography in Ukraine. So, as you understand, this makes a certain imprint on both of us: we love creative people, who love art and photography and always welcome them in our place.
I am personally into arts and gardening. This is one of my hopes, being registered here, to have more possibilities to travel around world museums to see masterpieces heritage throughout the world. And parks. This is my passion. So if you love plants and flowers as much as I do, we wil definitely will have smth to discuss.))
I also practice yoga, not in a professional way though. My other interests lie in zen, slavic practices and traditions, histrory of art and photography, architecture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a communicative person. And I love to meet people. Especially the ones I can learn smth interesting or new from. I love to listen to peoples stories. And they somehow like to tell them to me quite often.
I want my house to sound in different languages, for my daughter to listen to them, to learn new aspects of different cultures. I want her to see those free people who are open to the world and when she is grown up - i do hope she will be brave enough to start her own world exploration.
