Hi! I’m Anna, 21, originally from Ukraine and currently living in Germany for the past year and a half. I’m learning German and planning to study medicine here. I absolutely love traveling — I feel like my journey as a traveler is just beginning! I enjoy cycling around Germany, hiking, and camping. I’m also into literature, Chinese tea ceremonies, and music (especially when there’s dancing involved). I’m curious, open-minded, and always happy to share stories, smiles, and good tea. Looking forward to meeting kind souls along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is made up of memories, and throughout it, we remember the bright and special moments, not the automatic routine that makes up 80%. That’s why I want to fill my 20% with vibrant people, soulful conversations, and beautiful places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music — from old-school rap like 50 Cent, Tupac, and Biggie to powerful female voices like Rihanna, Kelly Rowland, and Aaliyah. I have a soft spot for vinyl and love the sound of Roy Orbison, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and The Shirelles.

I’m a big fan of Al Pacino — honestly, I could rewatch his films every night. I also love The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. These actors have such depth; I’m definitely a little fan.

When it comes to books, I’m drawn to stories and ideas that make me feel and think. I really liked The Black Obelisk by Erich Maria Remarque, The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell, and Women Who Run with the Wolves — such a powerful read

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I found the courage to follow my dream of becoming a doctor, even when it meant starting over in a new place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Ukrainian and Russian fluently. I also happen to be pretty good in the kitchen — especially when it comes to making sushi! Cooking is one of my strong suits, and I love preparing meals with care and creativity.
