About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking it easy. Enjoying the beauty and unpredictability of life.

ABOUT ME

In a nutshell, I am just like everyone else, yet I am different and unique. I love exploring new places, but then again, who doesn't? I love being at the seaside, this is where I feel happiest. I love summer, maybe because this is when I travel most, or maybe because I miss warm weather and sunrays during cold months.
I love theatre, opera, and classical music concerts. However, I still cannot forget how we rocked out at Lenny Kravitz and Madonna concerts some time ago!
I've been living in Kiev for 8 years now, and I love this city. I love my country too, so I try to see as much of it as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

I think everything we do has consequences, whether we see them right away or not. And I believe that the three most important things in life are our time, our health, and the relationships we build.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not actively as a host, but I can hang out with you and show you around the beautiful city of Kiev and recommend places to go or other cities to visit in Ukraine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a total newbie - haven't hosted anyone yet, and haven't visited other CS homes, just yet.

Interests

Dancing salsa and learning to dance tango, yoga, running, chocolate, eating Italian food, everything about Spain, green smoothies, singing in the shower, old cities, herbal teas, hanging out with friends, watching World Cup, learning and living a healthy lifestyle... Almost everything and anything!

Music, Movies, and Books

I hate this part, because it's hard to name a few. A book that I absolutely love is Harper Lee's "To kill a mockingbird".

I love watching movies. And there are tons of favourites, from "An Affair to Remember" and "Some Like it Hot" to "Working girl", "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Bridget Jones".
Important fact: I've been in love with Colin Firth ever since BBC's "Pride and Prejudice".
Important fact #2: HUGE "Friends" fan!

Music: Norah Jones, Katie Melua, The Lumineers, Chambao, The Black Keys, Miguel, Lenny Kravitz, John Mayer, Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons, Michael Bublé, Janelle Monae, Bebe, Jessie J, Adele, The Civil Wars, Diana Krall, Corinne Bailey Rae, Frank Ocean... the list goes on and on.
