Hi! I’m Tetiana, an open-minded and curious traveler who loves meeting new people and sharing experiences. I believe that travel isn’t just about places but also about the people you meet along the way. Whether it’s sharing stories over a meal, exploring hidden gems, or just exchanging cultural insights, I love new connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see Couchsurfing as more than just a free place to stay—it's a way to experience a place through the eyes of a local. I love learning about different cultures, trying new foods, and exchanging ideas with people I meet. But if you're not in the mood to spend time together, that's completely acceptable and understandable. I always take into account the comfort of people around me.
I would also be happy to welcome guests at my picturesque place in Kyiv.

Interests

I am obsessed with finding what life and world is all about, how it works and understanding the people. Through science, art, books and travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Adaptation of my incredible cat Busya

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share stories from my travels, cook a meal from my home country, and teach you some of my native language (or English, if you’d like to practice!). If you’re interested in learning some Polish, I’d love to practice together too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you’re up for great conversations, cultural exchange, and making new friendships, I’d love to connect! Looking forward to meeting fellow travelers and locals alike.
