Hi there,

I'm Halyna, 33 y.o., translator and private tutor. Like many of my compatriots, I was forced to flee from my beloved city and country with my cat and friends to escape an enemy invasion. A week of wandering around Europe brought me to my closest friends here in Hamburg. People of Europe provided me with everything I could imagine. This is my opportunity to repay for good.

For the past three years, I've been living in Germany. Starting over in a new country as an adult has been challenging. I'm currently learning German and figuring out my path forward. While I don't have hobbies at the moment, I'm volunteering to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which helps me stay sane, connected, and purposeful.

❗️IMPORTANT
🐈I have a cat. Consider it if you're allergic.
🌏I only host guests who have references. If you're new to Couchsurfing, I apologize in advance.
🫶Couchsurfing is not about flirting or romance. For me, Couchsurfing is about helping others and sharing experiences.
🚩I kindly ask that you inform me of any unexpected changes to your plans as soon as possible. Your visit may require me to adjust my schedule and may involve turning down other guests. A fair warning is simply a matter of respect. I will definitely do the same for you.
🏳️‍🌈I can provide some food, towels, and clean sheets. Additionally, there’s shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, and a hairdryer available.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
