Hey there, wanderlust souls!

Former hitchhiker embracing the unpredictability of life's journey, I'm someone who cherishes meeting new faces and sharing the chapters of my adventures. I've moved from Ukraine to Scotland due to the hardships of war, and while the road ahead remains uncertain, I hold onto optimism for what's to come.

🚫 IMPORTANT: I ONLY HOST WOMEN.
MEN — PLEASE DO NOT SEND REQUESTS. THEY WILL BE DECLINED WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

Please take a moment to carefully read my Home & Preferences section before sending a request. If you skip it, your request is very likely to be declined — it’s important to me that my guest understands my house rules and conditions in advance.

I thrive on meeting diverse souls and swapping stories. There's something magical about sharing experiences and diving into the unknown. I'm all about the journey—be it traversing new landscapes or delving into intriguing conversations.

If you're up for cultural exchanges, vibrant discussions, and exploring the uncharted, I'm your go-to person. Let's create unforgettable memories and discover the beauty of this world together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here on Couchsurfing because I've had the privilege of meeting remarkable people along the way, and I aspire to be a part of others' memorable experiences too. Whether hosting or being hosted, I aim to contribute to the vibrant tapestry of shared stories and create meaningful connections that linger in the memories of those I meet.
