About Me

Psychology student, former hospitality specialist, traveler, art lover.

- Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
- A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet more amazing people and keep my mind wide open

Interests

Be kind to all creatures; this is the true religion.

A member of Vipassana movement and Psychology student is at your service to share some knowledge about Buddhism, philosophy, psychology, religion, feminism, alternative education etc.
I care about human rights, especially about children's and women's. Animal rights are important for me as well and I do care about the environment, and not just in words. I'm volunteering and doing my best to live more environmentally friendly.

I'm a big fan of art films, art, and history. Sometimes I could spend the whole day in the museums and art galleries. I love music, art, and movie festivals. Luckily we have some options here in Ukraine, but I love to travel for concerts, festivals, and exhibitions.
But again, that’s nothing compared to spending more time in Nature - that’s a real spiritual and inspiring practice that boosts my happiness.

Recently I fell in love with astronomy! As Carl Sagan said: astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. Believe me, it's true! If you don't know that I will take you to Planetarium in Dnipro :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will be happy to show you around my city. I am vegetarian and I will be happy to treat you to a homemade vegetarian meal and a cup of properly brewed tea. If I don't have a chance to host you, then I will show you around and will give you some tips about the best places to visit in the city.
My apartment is Kid Friendly and I have a cat :)
