Originally, I am from very picturesque and, surprisingly for some foreigners, the biggest country within Europe - Ukraine. I study International Relations and Business there, therefore these two subjects are of my deep professional interest. Moreover, I am keen on literature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently, I am doing my Erasmus semester in one of the most multicultural cities - Berlin. Its diverse citizens and atmosphere they create inspire me to get acquainted with people who represent a culture different from my own. And traveling does provide a chance to meet more of these people. In all-inclusive tours I am unlikely to be in contact with locals and their culture, but I strongly believe, that Couchsurfing can be a helping hand for the getting a genuine picture of what a country and its citisens are really like.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently, I prefer something between Indie and Alternative Rock. Classical music is always a good option. But, frankly, when I am drunk all music genres appear to be satisfactory. I am a real bookworm. I try to read whenever and wherever an opportunity comes. Among my favourites are "1984", "Jane Eyre", "Why Nations Fail", "Voskresenie", "Little Prince" and "The Collector".
As far as films are concerned, I cannot boast to be a film buff. Nevertheless, I try to keep pace with all new outstanding works. Generally, I am always eager to share my experience and feedback on anything I`ve seen, read and heard.
