About Me

An extremely friendly, easy-going , creative person, always happy to meet new friends. I love languages, stories, adventures, music, arts, creative writing and anything that livens up our short but promising life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having spent my childhood in Belarus and Ukraine, and then ten years in St. Petersburg (Russia), I thought I've finally settled down here, in Sheffield. I was wrong!
I have a dream now to challenge myself in London, as the big city life has always attracted me.
I've visited London a few times as a tourist, however, would like to have a look from the inside now. Therefore, would be very grateful for any advice/useful tips on lifestyle, job search, accommodation, places where the locals prefer to hang out, and everything that can be potentially useful for a newcomer.

My top travel destinations in the moment are Israel and Prague.
