About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, experience and share as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing and curious which is why I love to travel. It's also why I studied journalism. I was born in Zaporozhye, Ukraine but I moved to Canada when I was five years old. I like to have fun but I also love to learn new things. I have strong opinions but I try to have an open mind.

PHILOSOPHY

I just want to experience and learn as much as possible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm traveling so I'm looking to surf but when I get back to Canada I want to host fellow travelers :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surfing experience was with a friend in Tallinn, Estonia. We stayed with a really interesting and fun American who worked for the embassy there. I couldn't have asked for a better host. I haven't been couch surfing through the website yet but I hope people will give me a chance so I can build up some references and do it more!

Interests

I enjoy listening to music, having interesting conversations with friends, cafes, vintage clothing, books, and just exploring the world

Music, Movies, and Books

Too much to list.
Right now I'm really into folk music.
As for books I have a wide range of tastes, but my favorite author is Virginia Woolf.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite place I have travelled has been Rwanda. I spent two months there working for a newspaper. I got to really know a lot about some of the issues the country is facing, and I met a lot of great people. I also got to see mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, which was incredible!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love meeting people who have some similar interests as me, but who can also teach me something new. I'm a journalist so I'm always eager to learn as much as possible so I can understand the world better.

Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Monaco, Poland, Portugal, Rwanda, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States
