A Ukrainian, balancing in the EU 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Hello hello 👋🏻
Something about me.
I'm originally from Crimea, a paradise region in the south of Ukraine, where I spent the first half of my life.
For the other half, I lived in Kyiv. As it wasn't safe to stay there I evacuated myself to Europe, where I'm living till now.

I'd describe myself as peaceful, with a sense of humor, respectful, nature lover, gourmet, hedonistic, non-conformist, nonjudgmental, sincere, straightforward, logical, introverted, intelligent, brutally honest, mix of mature/immature, distant, analytical and critical, sarcastic, interested in people mindset, gloomy, creative, funny, picky, homebody, cat person, rather slow than energetic, usually seeking for good quality deep talks and laughs.

People say I'm courageous, well, I would not be so sure. But if there is no risk, there is no story, right? ;)
What else.
The year 2022 has changed me a lot. Almost all values, preferences, and hobbies lost their meaning. It was an extremely fast growth.
"We thought we had such problems. How could we know that we were happy?" - it turned out to be very symbolic.

I'm not a fan of artificial, crowded, noisy places, contests, quest rooms, TV shows, TV series, big social gatherings, competitions, shopping malls, public events... I prefer nature, privacy, relaxed company, comfort, max 2-3 people around, and a good atmosphere.
But honestly, no matter where you are, it matters who you are with.

P.S. have to mention, that I'm not a smoker (it's hard to handle cigarettes and icos smell). So if you smoke - it can be an issue for hosting/surfing, sorry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I registered back in 2014 when I took a classic bus Euro trip, and someone mentioned Couchsurfing. That's how I got to know about the community :)
It went through the evolution from saving money on accommodation to meeting people from different parts of the Globe and having a cultural exchange, which brings inspiration and motivation to explore the world more.
Couchsurfing plays a huge part in my life experience!

I love to be on both sides, as a host, and as a guest. Some of my hosts called me a "professional guest" 😁
And I'm proud to say that It's my 10th anniversary of being a Couchsurfing member!
😁
Wow! 10 years of an amazing experience with this great community!
