CURRENT MISSION

To be mindful and enjoy every single moment of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Wish to stop regretting of anything and being afraid of making a mistake. Fond of breaking the standards, learning from people and offering my own experience in return. Love meeting, trying, going, watching, reading, showing and sharing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couln't even imagine, that there are so many people in the world who want to visit Ukraine:) Back home, I used to host quite a lot. For the last 4 years I've been living abroad and trying as many locals and fellow "aliens" as possible.

At the moment I am in Kyiv again and willing to share the places which are close to my heart with visitors and expats.
