COUCHSURFING IS NOT A DATING APP

I HAVE A BOYFRIEND ,and I’m in a very happy relationships!

Hi dear travelers!

My name is Kristina, some people call me Kika.
I’m a philosophy student studying in Kyiv. I’m passionate about movies, art galleries, nature, sport, Ukrainian music, documenting memories in photos, and a lot more.

I took three gap years. I am an alumna of the Ukrainian Leadership Academy. ULA is a ten-month program for self-development.

I volunteer on a regular basis — helping others provide food, painting local areas, plogging, teaching orphans, walking dogs in shelters, and so on. I have organized three art projects intended to fundraise for the Ukrainian army and unite the Ukrainian nation. I continue to brainstorm how I can help others and follow my values and dreams.

I am an easy-to-raise person. I am always ready to go on an adventure. If anyone calls me to hike tomorrow — I agree.

I’ve been traveling since I was 17, starting with hitchhiking and the belief that nothing is impossible. I’m very open-minded, meaning that I’m also curious about everything. I’ve changed so many professions and am still exploring this world of opportunities.
I’ve lived in Germany, the USA, and — of course — in Ukraine, my favorite country. Originally, I’m from Mariupol, the city that has been under occupation since March 2022. After many moves, I returned to Ukraine in March 2024.

One of my biggest qualities is sincerity — I value it the most. I often speak my mind without sugarcoating, and I don’t hide my feelings — whether it’s happiness or sadness. I’m deeply caring, genuinely kind, and optimistic.

I write small poems, I love swimming in the Black Sea, cycling around the city, I’m learning calisthenics, and I used to be an actress.

I’m drawn to contribute my complete self and open my own private schools in every region of Ukraine.

I always believe in myself. I am confident that my efforts will be recognized.

So, I am a traveler, a hitchhiker, and an extreme enthusiast. I want to explore this life—it is now — and it is wonderful.

***Sorry, you can’t see references from surfers because it is dangerous to come to Ukraine, so there are not a lot of travelers that I can host.

*** Also, I don't drink alcohol!!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Fav book is “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes.
