About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I cannot afford you France and Germany!

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty laid back person and want to see as much of the world as possible! I was born in Ukraine and moved to Canada with my family when I was 3. English is my "first language", but my Russian can get me by. I've been fortunate enough to see quite a few different corners of the world and even more lucky to have met some amazing people along the way. I'm hoping to make a few more global friends! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Not all who wander are lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently living in Saskatoon, SK, but my boyfriend and I will be doing a 3 month trip to Europe and Morocco for the summer. We are looking for someone to take us in Marseille and Berlin if possible. After that trip we are moving to Toronto indefinitely, so give us a shout if you're looking for a place to stay there after October!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couch surfing community, but I have been referred by friends to stay with friends of theirs in some destinations and I've taken in some travellers while living in Japan and Ukraine!

Interests

- Music, Film, Art, Food and Fashion!
I can be a quiet person, but I definitely open up once I get to know someone. I am a creative person and like to spend most of my time working in those regards. I also love to be active and the outdoors!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Living and working in Tokyo. Japan has a piece of my heart! One of the most beautiful and peaceful people and country I have ever been too.

2) Trekking in the Himalayas to Everest Base Camp! I thought I was going to give up from the physical strain, but I'm so glad I pushed through. To see the summit on a clear day was indescribable.

3) First seeing Machu Picchu. Amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe everyone has a destiny, but one has to remember that the journey is more important than the destination.
