CURRENT MISSION
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”-Howard Thurman

ABOUT ME

I’m Nataly, I’m PhD at the Department of Pharmaceutical, Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry, Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University (Ukraine). I’m a friendly person with a good sense of humor, I like to explore new places and meet new and interesting people. I’m a scientist, but I'm also interested in architecture (gothic style is my favorite), in painting (I like Vincent Willem van Gogh’s works ), in sculpture (I adore Michelangelo’s two well-known works, the Pietà and David). I like travelling, learn new culture and people. I love to learn new things, skills. I listen to music: jazz, rock, pop.

PHILOSOPHY

“We can easily see that being in the right place (physical, educational, societal, or otherwise) at the right time can influence our destinies as much as anything else.” BUT “..we’re surrounded by opportunities every day, everywhere we go. Most opportunities never announce themselves with trumpets and confetti. They’re easily missed, mistaken, or squandered. They can be scary. Opportunities are whispers, not foghorns.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to explore new places and meet new and interesting people.
