Being a student by nationality and an introvert by religion, I adore travelling, since it gives me the ultimate feeling of freedom. Beautiful sceneries of different corners of the world pacify me and create a new sense of life. I'm in love with foreign languages, cultures and cities, though I never forget about my own country: there is still so much left undiscovered! All I need is tea in thermos, a ripe apple bought at the local market, and a good friend with whom I really feel like watching sunsets in new places every day afresh. And that's my primary goal. ^^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm eager to leave my "comfort zone" - just like lots of people who get tired of routine and boundaries. And I want to go on the road! The road attracts me most of all, its freedom makes me feel fantastic as I find myself in a new city open to discoveries - like I'm a Columbus of our time :) That is why I'm here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* Travelled to South America without money nor knowledge of Spanish and survived there for 6 years

* Hitchhiked for the first time in my life alone in Atacama desert

* Went to Odessa to see the sea in early March - on the spot, just to spend 10 hours in the city and come back without telling my Mom and anybody where I am :) There, right on the pier, I recorded a video-greeting for Mom - next day was March 8th. She was amazed ;)

* Got lost in Lisbon on the day of departure, and then had a phone talk with a Lisbon police officer :D

* Bravely (and unsuccessfully) hitchhiked in Spain in the most unfavourable conditions EVER!

* Wandered in the dark gloomy Carpathian forest at night with my friend alone. Creeeeeps -__-

* Fell in love with a dead poet

Teach, Learn, Share

Uhmmm, I can try to teach you Ukrainian, but I am not a good teacher, definitely I ain't... :D I am more of a life-long student than a teacher, though I passed 3 teaching internships in the course of my studying. Strange as it may seem, my students still love me and want to meet after classes... I can bet this is just because I am strange and red-headed ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I'm not talkative but I'm a rather good listener. :) If you have something you would like to discuss, or rather open your heart to somebody, I am the right person for that - not a psychologist, merely a listener. Sometimes that's enough :) Besides that, I can melt your heart with Ukrainian souvenirs and my awkward but quite cute stories about my adventures and lifestyle in Ukraine... :D
