My name is Alyona. I am from Kharkiv, Ukraine. I was born and brought up in this wonderful city.
Though I like my home pretty much, I enjoy travelling too as it gives a great opportunity to discover new places, meet interesting people and educate oneself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think that people in here are also fond of travelling and making new acquaintances.
When staying at a new place, it is always good to have some place you can have a rest, to have someone who will advise you on what site is worth visiting, what dish is worth trying and what souvenir will remind you about the plac

Music, Movies, and Books

There are different books I enjoyed reding: some of them are written by Russian writers (Fyodor Dostoyevski and Mikhail Bulgakov), some by J. K. Rowling (well, who does not like 'Harry Potter'? :) and Jane Austen.
I also do like 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
As for music, 30 STM, Borns, Panic at the disco, Arctic Monkes, Portugal.The man, Banks + some populat music are always present in my player.
