Hey friends! 🙏🏼
My name is Maria and I am from beautiful and peaceful Ukraine 🇺🇦This year because of awful war I had to leave my home 🏡😞

Let me tell more about me.

I am German an Ukrainian teacher, Yoga teacher, writer and smm manager. I have been studying linguistics and then business administration in the University. I take pictures with my film camera. So I can tell you a lot of interesting stories from my work and life. I am passionate about Chinese tea 🍵

I have a cat, his name is Lis (Forest from Ukrainian)🐈🌳

Or maybe you want to give me an interview and be the next character of my book? I'm a very good listener, I like broad my outlook and the biggest reason why I am traveling is meeting new people and listen new stories. And of course making new friends.
I can't live without dance. I find attractive not only professional dancers, I believe that the best dance borns in the heart. When the soul is dancing, no matter how you move, no matter how flexible are your legs, but the most important thing is the freedom you feel dancing, enjoying every movement and living now. I am keen on running. I run 🏃🏽‍♀️ half marathon 3 times and want to do a full marathon somewhen. I live without any borders, following my heart ❤️.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is so big and so small at the same time. One day you catch the moment when you understand, that money and things worth nothing. Only people connections and interactions could move the Word and make it a better place to be.
And the only thing you can give and share is your energy, produced somewhere inside your soul, inspired by the Universe . I am looking for soulmates around the world. And... is there any better place to meet if it isn’t just home kitchen?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was traveling to Carpathian Mountains with my friend (who is also a tiny nice girl) in winter with just summer sleeping bag and small tent. It was cold, but unforgettable... I will tell you more when we meet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yoga, dancing and sport are the big part of my life. I appreciate nature and explore my inner world through the spiritual practice. Yoga sequence is always available for you 🙏🏼🫀

Also I really like cooking and telling curious stories from my life. I am vegetarian, but it is not a problem if you are not😉

We could do yoga together or I can show you the power of herbs and plants. I am true Nature-lover.
