CURRENT MISSION

Looking for the ways to travel to Asia. Plan to go to Japan.

Sometimes I write a personal stuff here: https://medium.com/@sashamiklashonok
Stories about trips will be included as well in the future :)

My photos from trips and Kyiv:

I CAN HOST NOW. CHECK MY HOME SECTION BEFORE MAKING THE REQUEST. I LIVE IN CRACOW, NOT KYIV NOW

ABOUT ME
Curious about different cultures and social group interactions.

Live in Cracow now but consider Kyiv as my home.

Adore rain sounds.

Love Japanese, Korean, Thai, and other Asian cuisine.

Coffee and book lover.

Like drinking tea and having nice talks.

Interested in feminism as a historical movement.

Started to practice meditation.

I neglect religion as an institution, but I believe that God exists.

Adore French music and musicals.

Love the feeling of traveling alone with my backpack, as it gives me the opportunity to be open with the world. And I've noticed that meeting new people sometimes helps you to see things from the another perspective and change your mind about them.

I can't stay in one place for a long time, that's why I travel :)

Fall in love with Ireland after having visited it <3

Adore the Italian culture and language. So if you're native or can speak in it I'd like to practice my Italian with you.

Btw, despite the stereotype about Ukrainians, I hate drinking and smelling vodka (horilka is a Ukrainian variant :P)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

1) It's the best way to know about the other cultures, and when I don't travel, it helps me to feel the moments of adventures again.

2) I like showing around and telling some historical moments about Kyiv and Ukraine. So, if you want to know better about the city I will be open to share my knowledge with you :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Well, there are several of them:

I gained some skills in constructional works when I volunteered in France.

I bagpacked around Europe several times alone doing monthly trips.

I’ve spent 2 days in the Palestinian refugee camp (West Bank).

I took part in the Ukrainian revolution (Euromaidan).

I couldn’t say that it was an amazing thing but rather brave from my side. I packed all my life in one luggage and went to Georgia for the unknown period of time.

教，学，和分享

I'm not a good cooker. But I can cook Ukrainian borscht and some wraps :)

It could be also a Ukrainian word, a story or how the students from humanities may survive statistics :D

I'd like to learn some words from your native language and to know more about your country :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

The stories about Ukraine and souvenirs or chocolate from my home country :)
