Overview
About Me
Dossier: born and raised in Zaporizhzhia, studied architecture in Kyiv, and after receiving a diploma set out to travel with a purpose and without a purpose at the same time.
...
Okay, let's do the random facts about me))))))))))))
...
Sagittarius with Sagittarius ascendant🏹🐎
It's hard to sit at home more than one day, I need the Outside🍃
"Atlas Shrugged" changed my mind to 180° (since I read it in my 16) and that was a moment when I started to use my own head👀
But my favourite book is "The house in which..." by Mariam Petrosyan and I will be happy to find someone who also read it🌠
I was studying architecture and in love with the cities, but once I found myself as a part of nature and it was no road back🙇
If you will say "let's go somewhere tomorrow" I'll book the tickets and pack my things in next 10 seconds😅
I wanna live a van life 🚐🏞️🍀
Always wearing a book in my bag but not always read it - sometimes just sit on it because stone is cold🙈
Half of a year I prefer only black coffee in the morning, another half - put the milk in it and don't understand how can I drink coffee without it (it's ridiculous even in my opinion hahah))☕🥛
Like to sleep in a hammock (have pocket sized one) somewhere in the woods but the best thing is awakening🌻
I love night train, buses rides and late or early flights because I can dedicate a day to explore the city where I change a transfer (when you young&broke& unemployed you also choose the cheapest night tickets)🎟️✨
Changed seven different sports sections (including dancing, fight arts, sport games, swimming etc) and dropped out everything but than started to come back in yoga again and again since I tried once because it was the only thing that let me to fell and behave according to my body needs without pushing myself🙏
I like the pumpkin.......🎃
Best activity - walking somewhere among nature, best rest - look out the bus window while listening music through headphones, best feeling - of oneness with the Universe🌌
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Now I'm in a process of exploration of me and the World and how this both things are working together (honestly not sure that's will end someday😆).
In another words I'm taking a GAP-year but without terms
Couchserfing is an amazing way to get to know the human world from a first-person perspective, not through the social media or smth like that (I'm a fan of live communication, sorry messengers not sorry)
Interests
In architecture I like history and space planning (including drawing the plans) the most
Prefer books based on real stories
Best holiday is the backpack with a tent on your back, the group of friends and walk everyday in unknown direction
I explore my inner world and Universe through meditation, trying to live in harmony with myself and the world
I'm interested in learning of permaculture, especially construction area

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When it was last June in my student dear-home-dormitory the first sunrise of summer was approaching. I woke up while my roommates and the whole house were sleeping and climbed through an attic on a roof to see the sun the first (from that viewpoint - it wasn't really safe to do it, but that morning I had a wish) and the last time. I loved that period of my life and it was hard for me to say goodbye and honestly I had a chance to continue my study to get higher degree and stay but I already felt that it's not my life anymore. It was the end of one season and the beginning of new one.
If you've ever read "Dandelion Wine" by Ray Bradbury you probably know how the story begins: Douglas Spaulding looks down from his Grandfather's tower at dawn onto the city where the sun is rising. He raises his arms and the city orchestra begins to play - with a wave of his hand, people wake up, doors slam, the clock on the old tower strikes. "The sun rises and the summer of 1928 begins.©"
Maybe it's not a story about me jumping with a parachute or diving near the reef but for sure this was the One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done. Staying on the roof of my youth I raised my hands to meet the unknown of my life and a new summer. The orchestra started to play and the sun began to rise.
Teach, Learn, Share
I study yoga and meditation for my own, but with a certification to be a teacher one day, so probably can give some advices) Also in love with my degree-occupation (which is architecture) where I try to find myself and help people with my level of knowledge as much as possible.
Bonus offer: I can teach you to knit funny colorful sweaters✌️🌝
Bonus offer #2: oh, and if you have chess I can play with you (or teach how to play))♟️
