I'm a smiley person with a passion for arts, different cultures and all kinds of strange things!

I would like to prove that culture matters so I'm working a lot in the artsy/cultural field.

I'm from Ukraine, and my dream has always been to move to the sunny lands where fruits are falling into your hands and it's never dark in winters. But somehow it happened that I moved to Latvia (pure accident!), and now I'm trying to survive here :D

So nice to meet you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe there is no point in traveling if you are not getting to know the locals. Locals are the magical key to unknown places and thrilling cultural discoveries. So even if I'm staying in a hostel I always try to find someone here to hang out.

Unfortunately, I don't have an opportunity to host you but I'm always glad to be useful in other ways - good conversations and informative walks around the city.
