Overview
About Me
Hey guys!
I’m a girl from Kyiv who’s been lucky to live in 3 different countries over the last 4 years. Currently based in London, and soon heading off for my 4th Camino de Santiago — one of my favorite adventures.
Over the years, I’ve hiked more than 2500 km along the Camino routes, and every step gave me unforgettable memories, encounters with incredible people (some of whom became close friends), and a deeper connection to life.
I work as a personal stylist, and in my free time I’m passionate about traveling, hiking, yoga, theatre, and long city walks (15k steps? That’s a warm-up!). I love collecting experiences — from swimming with whale sharks in Mexico, sipping coffee on a farm in Brazil, to having breakfast with a view of the Egyptian pyramids. That’s the kind of life that feeds my soul and keeps me moving forward.
Though my Couchsurfing experience is still quite small, every moment I’ve had has been unforgettable. I truly believe it’s not just a way to find a place to sleep, but a way to open your world to others, share stories, cook together, laugh, and build connections across the globe.
My short term dreams?
Flying in a helicopter, and swimming with mantas in the Seychelles — hopefully coming soon!
If I have some free time, I’d be happy to meet up with interesting people from around the world.
Please enjoy your life as much as you can — and don’t forget to hug your loved ones.
