CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a Ukrainian girl made of smiles, thoughts, self-exploration, and life-loving;

There is a big part of my life connected to dancing - ballroom and social dancing. Since 4 years, Kizomba (nooo it is not Zumba or Kizumba....) parties have been the only ones I still attended and stayed till very very morning.

yoga does incredible things with me.
Love music, books, meaningful conversations.

Oh yeah, I follow a plant-based diet. I take my reusable cup and bags with me almost everywhere :)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the power of communication between two or more.

I usually have an opinion on everything, that is why I leave the space for someone to express it as well. And surprise, those don't have to match :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have u seen "Pay it forward"?
This is how I see it. People treated me well so I want to pay it forward :)

Interests

I am practicing yoga - started from Sivananda, then through Iyengar's method of Hatha yoga, now I am practicing Ashtanga.
I enjoy kizomba ( a social dance from Angola) the most, but I love bachata too. Recently stopped killing couples on the dancefloor during salsa. :)

When I hear any kind of music I am just freestyling.
