Hello my potential new friend :)

I love everything that combines nature and sport: skiing, kayaking, hiking, and camping. Used to love long-distance running and ran four half marathons. Enjoy exploring new cultures and learning languages. In ten months, I learned French from zero to a certified B2 level.

Love animals and have always dreamed of having a pet, but since I travel often, I can't afford to have a creature chez moi.
I am quite talkative, curious, with a deep love for the outdoors and staying active.
Eat meat, but I'm not a big fan of it. My mom is vegan, and I guess this has nurtured my love for fruits and vegetables.

Can describe myself as a joyful person in general (despite the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine, and losing my friends monthly).

I love going to bed early, and I don't drink or smoke.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I believe CS lets people find true authentic connections and embrace the multiculturalism. My mum introduced me to the concept when I was 15, and I've dreamed to try it ever since. We hosted people from different countries at home in Kyiv and I was hosted several times when traveling with my friends.

Now I dare to try it independently as a solo-traveler.

And I just want to meet new people! I love sincere communication.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: jazz, bossa nova, house, hip-hop, lofi, indie rock.
Khruangbin, moby, Jungle
Trying to accumulate the songs in various languages in my Spotify playlist. Know several Ukrainian folk songs by heart.

Movies:
"La Belle Verte" very funny and quite realistic.
"Human with a Stool"(2019) - a documentary film about a travel adventure, that shows Ukrainian reality in parallel. Highly recommend watching!
"Little Miss Sunshine"
Good old cartoons like "Wall-E" and "Ratatouille."

I like singing and dancing (I don't master it) just for the joy.

The biography of Sofia Yablonska inspires me a lot!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hadn't booked anything, we traveled along Madeira with my friend for five days by hitchhiking, sleeping in a tent on the beaches and in the mountains. We met incredibly kind people (most of them were Germans for some reason).

Hitchhiked East and South of Ukraine before full-scale invasion (territories which are now unfortunately occupied by Russia).

Ran 32 km without a stop (it was during Covid; that was my way of entertainment while living in a village with my grandparents).

Hosted events (Ukrainian poetry evenings) in Strasbourg, Luxembourg, Dijon, Nancy, and Brussels.

教，学，和分享

I teach languages to kids (Ukrainian, English, and gave a German class twice). Can teach you an engaging card game, and I love making pancakes (and organizing picnics!) and making random acquaintances.

Super interested in discovering family roots and can talk for hours about some family traits.

Like practicing yoga and would have loved to learn more about meditation.

A talk, a walk, a meal.
