I'm Ukrainian and I've been living in Denmark for two years now.

And only 2 years and 2 months ago, I went abroad for the first time in my life – all by myself. I'd never even been to an airport before!

Back then, my English skills were pretty poor, but now I turned my photography hobby into a job in a huge company Bestseller and English feel like a breeze to me, compared to Danish

Traveling has always been my dream, but growing up, I didn't know anyone who traveled. It seemed like an impossible dream. Yet here I am, having visited 11 countries already!

I also have a 9-year-old dog whom I simply adore. By the way, she weighs only 2 kg and fits perfectly in my purse! 😅

I'm new here but why not give it a try?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm eager to meet new, cool people from all over the world. I'm tired of waiting for someone to travel with, so this app is a great opportunity to already have company in the places you're traveling to. Plus, recommendations from locals are always the best!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm open to different music styles, so feel free to share your favorites with me – just not hard rock, please. I enjoy cheerful films, as I'm quite sensitive to movies and tend to avoid anything too sad or scary.

My favorite movie is "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." I feel like it's about me

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left Ukraine with just a backpack and my dog, not knowing a single soul outside my country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you basic Ukrainian phrases and words, share some of my luck in life, and teach you how to take good photos. 📸

And yes, I can whip up a mean batch of borscht! 😋😁
