LAST MINUTE REQUESTS ARE WELCOME.

I am Valeriia (or Lera) from Ukraine, but it's been since 2013 that I live as an expat with my husband Xavier (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/libertissiste) changing the place of living every year and a half. And I love it even if it's much more tough than what it sounds!

I'm passionate about literature and languages, cycling and photography. I love cooking and eating well. We are both flexitarians and very much into sustainable eco living and slow traveling.

Even if I adore traveling (otherwise I wouldn't be on CS, would I?), I also love my routine and little habits that we have with Xavier.

Together we have a travel / photography blog : independentpeople.net

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love meeting people that I know for sure share my passion for traveling.

I remember well the times when I was a student, who didn't know where to crash for the night, so now I wish to give something in return and host wanderers passing by the city I currently live in - wherever it might be.

Besides, I believe that CS is the most poetic way of human interaction - you meet a soulmate and then you let them go until your paths cross each other again. Or not.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Parachute jump, cycled around Iceland by tandem, traveled to the North Cape in a rusty van, created a travel blog, learnt French in 1,5 years, lived in London, but the most extraordinary thing - I met Xavier.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I hosted dozens of people so I have a very clear idea of what a perfect surfer is :D

I don't surf often, but when I do, it's above all to meet a new person, who could share stories and tell more about their country.

I come with my sleeping equipment.
