ABOUT ME
I am friendly and generally open-minded, and it would be good to add that I am also calm and not very talkative. Rather a listener and not a party person:) Fortunately, it doesn't prevent me from being curious about the world and thanks to that I studied dance movement therapy,traveled to Iceland,learned how to run a small hotel, to look after a garden, how to fish and to play Cuban drums, and did many, many other lovely things!
Travels and nature are in my inspiration list. Until recently, I prefered to combine them with dances, visiting salsa festivals in Europe and Cuba. I also did some volunteering in Iceland and Scotland which was an incredible experience and lots of joy.
PHILOSOPHY
Simple joys and big joys :)
Inspiration and interest are the driving elements of life.
Watching helps to See and listening to Hear.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I cannot provide accomodation, but I would love to help guests to know Kyiv better and to chat over a cup of tea or coffee.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Strangely, I have never been involved in any couch surfing activity, although I traveled enough and met amazing people in different countries. So this is my initiation, the first time online.
Interests
Until recently, my main interest in life was Dance: contemporary, Cuban, Argentinian tango... But something old has gone and new has yet to come, so meanwhile I read books, walk around cities and travel when there is a possibility. And, yes, I love flowers,sweets, silence,Authentic Movement,misteries, sea, and cats!
