I'm Ukrainian, who temporarily lives in Portugal. I'm working mostly remotely and previously I traveled a lot with couchsurfing, so now I want to move from being a "guest" to becoming a "host". I didn't move to Portugal by my own desire, but now Im on "acceptance" stage and Im in love with this country and culture. I will be happy to show you this paradise on Earth and make you fall in love with this place too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As usual, because I want to be a part of some kind of travel community and meet people all over the world to discover their life-styles and cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ohhh it could be a long long list. But I will rescue your and mine time and eyes.
I prefer all kind of music, except for Russian rap.
As far as books going, I would love to read classic literature, which can transfer me to new unknown world. But lately I am amazed by Ukrainian writers also.
And the last, but not the least. Films. I would like to see some comedies or thrillers( again, foreign ones)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
