Personal Description

I babysit for these girls. They say I have a weird and crazy face...but they LIKE IT!

How I Participate in CS

I am an ambassador, and I do my best to be as welcoming to anyone in the Couch Surfing community. I host, I surf, I dream about hosting, I think about where I will surf next. I am trying to help build a stronger network of surfers everywhere I go.

CouchSurfing Experience

I have now Couch Surfed in Africa, Europe, Central America, the Middle East and the US. I have hosted a bunch of people in my Soviet apartment in Kolomiya, Ukraine. My first experience was in Vegas, and I was immediately hooked! I have made some really amazing friends through this site, and hope to make many more.

Interests

Travel. Dancing! Saving the world...kinda. Love. Decorating my flat. Setting kitchen on fire. Music. Movies (copious amounts). Riding bikes. Exploring. Reading the New Yorker. Tabasco. Freezing Cold Drinking Water. Drafts (the breezy kind, the beer kind, but not the government kind). Knitting. Sleeping in my sleeping bag in my room and pretending I'm camping. Friends. Couch Surfing (hosting you/surfing your couch). Laughter. Love. Travel. Travel. Travel! Pilates. Listening to Podcasts and music. Walking around town. Walking on the beach! Trying to not get bit by evil dogs (score one for evil dogs, none for me). Trying to not get bit by babies (score one babies, none for me) Hanging out with friends and their families. Dancing. The occasional somersault or cart-wheel.

It has also been said that I spin a mad hula hoop

Philosophy

Life is good!

Make friends wherever you go and you'll never be lonely.

Music, Movies, Books

Yes! :)

Types of People I enjoy

Fun people who know how to laugh! A sense of humor is one of the most important things in life! Laid back people are my favorite, and I also enjoy someone who will just hang out and talk talk talk all night. Sincerity, kindness and dorkyness are all highly appreciated. When I am traveling, I enjoy people who have time to grab a drink with me and share our stories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to hula hoop, how to make a hoop and then decorate it.

I can teach you the best way to get from Berkeley to Alameda on a bike without popping a tire or getting hit by a car.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

I carried the torch for the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

I think that you only get to live life once, and that you should live it to the fullest. I think couchsurfing helps us do that by experiencing more culture when we travel around the world. Instead of getting to know more about life in a hotel in Cairo, you can actually learn about regular people's life in Cairo! I love it! My life has actually been taken over by CS, and some of my friends say, "Oh here she goes again..." I think it is good when you can get so excited about something like this. Life is good!

ANDREA!!! Her profile picture -even though it's tough to recognize her- says it all: a crazy little human being. We didn't spend much time together in San Fran, yet she did show me around Alameda and took great care of me. Loved our bikeride and veggie corn dogs!! I'll be back in SF soon dear!

Andrea hosted me, my girlfriend Molly and even our cat Hecate when we visited the Bay Area. Andrea is an excellent host. She's a fun person to hang out with and extremely helpful as well. She prepared a delicious Ethiopian dinner for us and took me to a cool bar where Jack London used to hang out. Molly, Hecate and I enjoyed our stay with Andrea a lot and would not mind to see her again sometime.

I surfed Andrea's couch in Alameda with my boyfriend and cat for a few days. She is a great host and told lots of funny/crazy stories about her extensive travels. She also showed us some awesome photos, and gave us some great tips about the Bay Area! I would highly reccomend her as a person, guest, or host, to anyone.

I saw that Andrea needed a couch for an event I was organising so I wrote and offered her mine. That was the best decision I've made in a long time! I liked her immediately when we met as she has a very good energy about her and I really enjoyed hearing about her adventures so far. She's a very considerate guest and I only wish we'd had a longer amount of time to spend together. I think that hosts should form an orderly queue to have Andrea come and surf with them (and I'll be at the front of it!). Come back soon!!

Wow how can i even start. I met Andrea in Cape Town and we soon started traveling thru Africa together. I don't want to sound overly dramatic but it was deffinitly one of the highlights of my life. From swimming on beaches in the Transkei to pub crawling with donkeys in Lesotho to trading for stacks and stacks of money in zim to standing on the edge of victoria falls in Zambia we did everything together. Andrea is seriously a women in a million and i hope you have the fortune of meeting her.

Andrea and I set off on a two week adventure through Southern Africa after a chance meeting in Ukraine and a quick reuniting in Cape Town, and had a blast. Andrea has a great sense of humor, a love of food, and a constant taste for adventure. We also seem to have a knack for ending up in the same places while travelling. Hopefully that will continue :)

She's full of mind-boggling stories of life in Ukraine (like the crazy stalker guy!) and even more she survived as a vegetarian in Ukraine and more over Mzoli's in Gugulethu...we had good times in the house, down in Long Street, in the township and of course on the way to the township!

I'm glad i had the chance to meet her and that she's leaving her hard-drive with us so she has to come back! (and i can watch some tv without a tv!) Hoorah for the little pink-burnt Andrezca!

So I had the privilege of one-to-one with her while supping together. Good, easy, mellow conversation. She's keen to experience everything she can and she's got the fervour to make it happen. Spend more than just a couple of hours with her if you can!

Andrea provided a warm shelter during winter in the friendly town Kolomiya. I quickly became interested in her Peace Corps experience, she sacrificed much to help the Ukrainian youth, preventing them from becoming 'gopniks'. She is talkative and trusting, the kind of company someone can be comfortable with instantly. Her flat was a strange portal into America, which will prove valuable when I return.

I recommend a one night visit in the village followed by extended stay in Kolomyia and/or Frankivsk. If I am still in country, I will probably see you when you visit her!
