Hi! I’m Nataliya from Ukraine - a traveler, creative soul, and lifelong explorer of the world.
I prefer an active lifestyle - sports, movement, and real conversations. Board games aren’t really my thing; I’d rather go for a walk and connect with people.
Spontaneity is my element. The best moments often happen unexpectedly.

I love meeting people from all over the world and finding “my kind of people” - those who share similar values, energy, and outlooks on life. It always inspires me and fills me with joy.

💛 I value kindness, authenticity, and simplicity.
🚭 I don’t smoke or drink alcohol.
I’m new to Couchsurfing (even though I registered a while ago), and I’m finally ready for new connections, cultural exchange, and meaningful conversations!

Interests

Photography and video are my passions — my way of capturing beauty, authentic people, and telling stories through portrait, street, and documentary photography.
Travel is my heartbeat. I’ve visited over 25 countries, including Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Algeria, France, the UK (England & Scotland), the USA, Canada, Greece etc.
I absolutely love learning new things - the world is full of fascinating discoveries! I enjoy reading, exploring fresh perspectives on familiar topics, and expanding my worldview. I try to stay open to new ideas and technologies, while also deeply appreciating traditions (not all of them, of course 😉).
I dream of learning several foreign languages - I’m just starting this journey, and it’s incredibly exciting!
I love exploring cities, museums, hidden gems, and coastal places. I have favorite spots around the world that feel special to me - places I love returning to.
Long walks are my meditation. When I travel, I often just walk, listen to the rhythm of the city, and count the kilometers - it’s a simple joy that makes me feel alive.
I enjoy deep, sincere conversations that leave a lasting impression.
I cook with love - baking sourdough bread, experimenting with cheese-making, and embracing the warmth of homemade food.
I appreciate good films and books. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a singer… but I grew up and became a bit too shy for the stage ☺️
