I recently finished my studies in pharmacy and biomedical sciences, and right now I’m in a stage of figuring out what’s next in life. I’m focusing on my mental and physical health—practicing hot yoga, going to psychotherapy, and learning how to live more offline and in the moment.

I used to spend a lot of time on the internet (hello, YouTube rabbit holes 🙈), but now I’m trying to embrace real life, with all its beauty and struggles. In therapy, I also discovered I have social anxiety, so I’m taking small steps to connect with people in a more authentic way. I’ve realized how much we all need real connection—deep conversations, laughter, and presence.

I love learning—whether it’s about different cultures, languages, foods, or simply listening to someone’s unique life story. I believe every person we meet can teach us something, and every encounter has value.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because life is richer when it’s shared. I want to meet people from around the world, exchange stories, and see places through the eyes of those who live there. For me, Couchsurfing is about connection: learning, sharing, and growing together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve moved countries on my own at 17 and built a new life from scratch. It taught me resilience, independence, and how to see the world with fresh eyes. I’ve also taken up hobbies like figure skating and aerial sports, which always remind me that it’s never too late to try something new.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the basics of Russian and Ukrainian (and some fun cultural quirks that don’t always translate!). I’d love to learn about different cultures, local traditions, and personal stories. I enjoy sharing ideas, perspectives, and laughter over a cup of tea—or a long walk.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything—from a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen, to good vibes and deep, meaningful conversations about life, books, philosophy, or just silly things. I can also cook something sweet (I’m learning baking!) and bring warmth and positivity into your home.
