Hi there! I’m Alina, a person always eager to meet new people and explore new places.

I’m a fan of biking, walks, cooking, reading, and painting by numbers. I also love visiting the theatre, exploring art exhibitions, and discovering cozy cafés with delicious food. I’d be thrilled to share some fun activities with you.

I’ve had the opportunity to work as a concierge and guest relations assistant in hotels in Turkey and Dubai. It was an amazing experience that taught me so much about hospitality and connecting with people. I currently work full-time as a QA engineer based in Kyiv.

I’m an easy-going, open-minded person who values respect and understanding. Looking forward to making new memories and friendships along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I love meeting new people and discovering different cultures. Traveling becomes much more meaningful when I can connect with locals. Sharing stories and experiences makes every trip unforgettable.

Couchsurfing is a wonderful way to make friends from around the world, exchange support, and make travel more enriching and enjoyable.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy pop and instrumental music, as they help to create a relaxing atmosphere.

As for reading, I prefer novels and psychological literature. One of my all-time favorites is “Me Before You” by Jojo Moyes. I also enjoy books like “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman and “Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less” by Greg McKeown, which offer insightful perspectives on life and personal growth.

When it comes to films, I enjoy more motivating and light-hearted films. “Forrest Gump” is one of my favourites – it’s very heartwarming and inspiring.

I’m not a big fan of TV series and shows, as I often end up watching too many episodes at once. It tends to take up too much time, so I prefer movies I can enjoy in one sitting.

I’m not into horror films – they just leave me too terrified to sleep!
P.S. I don’t like popcorn 🍿, but I love other snacks to enjoy with a good film.
