Hi ! My name is Olga and I’m 24. Two years ago I graduated from three universities: master degree in Kiev National University, Lviv Psychoanalytic Institute, Kiev Gestalt University. So now I have time for travelling :)
I am constantly in a state of desire to know something new, so I’ll be happy to chat with you and share my experience - as far as my English allows me ;) I not only heard, but also know meaning of personal space,
so I don’t create discomfort with my presence.

I can confidently say that I am an active person! I love to ride a bike, in Kiev I have a mountain bike which I ride in the forest and on the hills. In winter I try to go to the mountains at least once for a snowboarding. This summer I met and fall in love with kayaking. About a year I am fond of running and periodically run half marathons. I jumped with a parachute and bungee jumping. My plans are to learn to surf.

My passion are cheese, red dry wine and vinyl ( I've got about 52 vinyl records in my collection).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like to meet new interesting people. I love traveling and expanding my knowledge of the world.
Maybe it's oldschool, but I love museums, sights of the city, tourist places "must see". But my real passion is in knowing the city / country from the inside. Learn the culture of how people live here, their daily routine, cultural features. I’m interested not only in a beautiful tourist picture, but to know the real life of the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, my grandpa from Bolgaria , now he living in Ukraine. After USSR he lost connection relatives. So when I was 12 I went to Bulgaria with my classmates. We stayed in guest house of one nice woman.
