Hi I’m Mariia 👋
I’m not the most spontaneous traveler and like to have a plan, so I don’t stress, but I’m always open to the small surprises a city hides.

I get along with people easily, even if I seem a little shy at first. Give me a moment, and I’ll be chatting like we’ve known each other for ages.

I’m tidy, quiet, respectful of personal space, and easy to live with. I appreciate privacy (both mine and yours), but if you have time to show me your favorite spots, I’m always happy to join :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new people when travelling. I think the best way to get to know a city is through the eyes of the people who call it home.

Music, Movies, and Books

Big music lover! Lately, I’ve been mostly listening to industrial, electronic, neofolk, dark ambient, stoner/doom/atmo metal, shoegaze, and gothic rock.
Still learning my way through cinema, but here are some of my favorites: Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, White Oleander, Pamfir, Eyes Wide Shut, Suspiria, Challengers, La Haine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don’t usually cook much while traveling, but if you’re interested in a little cultural exchange, I could cook a Ukrainian dish, or we could try making something local instead.
I also love bringing small gifts from home as a thank-you.

Countries I’ve Visited

Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Sweden
