Currently live in France with my 1yo daughter because of the war in my country…

I'm freelance journalist and writer from Ukraine. Mostly write about travel and food - things I love most of all. Traveling is my way of exploring life and my place in it. And I believe that local people, food and the opportunity to live an ordinary local life for a while allows you to feel country the best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like idea of discovering countries with local people. Meeting and communicating with people - one of the brightest part of the journey.

It's not about the destinations, it's about the jorney.

Interests

traveling, yoga, vipassana, local food, Latin dance

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Drove around my country 5 months on a motorbike (as a passenger) to visit all regions and made a travel app.
- 4 months and 18 European countries by travel van.
- Was part of a team to travel 2 months around Mongolia and making a documentary.
- Wrote two books as a ghostwriter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

You'll have one couch in a separate room (my office as I work from home). If there are two people - you can share the couch.
Please keep in mind that I live a little bit outside of the Kyiv city. It takes around 20 min to get by bus to the nearest metro station and 1 hour to get to the center. You also can use Uber (5-7$)
