Hi there! 💗 My name is Valery. I’m an open-minded person who enjoys meeting new people. I’m also a student and an active volunteer. I’ve taken part in different volunteer projects, especially those supporting Ukraine during the war. Also, I’ve been in Erasmus+ programs and love traveling; so far, I’ve visited 9 countries, sometimes traveling light with just a backpack and using low-cost options. What I like the most most about Erasmus+ is the chance to explore different cultures and tell about my own

A little more about me: I’m passionate about dancing — it’s a huge part of my life. If you check out my Instagram, you’ll mostly see dance videos and travel photos. I’m a big fan of K-pop and a cover dancer myself. My favorite groups are Seventeen (the the name💎), BTS, and P1Harmony.
Besides dancing, I love reading and even run a book blog with my friend.

I’m also a huge fan of movies, TV shows, kdramas, and cdramas.
My favorite movies (The Intern, Burlesque, Step Up, The Devil Wears Prada, The Tourist)
Among TV shows (The Sandman, Suits, Gossip Girl, Cheer)
As for kdramas, I love Happiness, Alchemy of Souls, Tomorrow, and Angel’s Last Mission: Love.
And one of my favorite cdramas is The Double.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to meet new people and I really like to travel, so we can talk about our cultures and make some cultural exchanges

Music, Movies, and Books

As I said I really love K-pop, but I also listen to other music. I was a ballroom dancer, so this is how I grew up on old music (most of them are 80-90s). From modern, I love: Tate McRae and Chase Atlantic, but actually - I am a meloman

My favorite author is Dan Brown. I really love his style of writing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the things I’m most proud of is my skill to find opportunities. When I was younger, I really wanted traveling, it excited me so much— but my family couldn’t afford it. So, I searched for alternative ways to explore the world. That’s how I discovered Erasmus+

Now, I’m part of the development team for an Erasmus+ project focused on Paralympic sports

Teach, Learn, Share

From something interesting - I really love learning languages. I've been learning Chinese for 2 years now and I know a bit of Turkish. In the future, I hope to learn Italian

Also, I can tell you about Ukraine and about our culture. Also I would like to hear some experience about travelling if you have it)

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Turkey
