Description

Hello!
My name is Valentyna, I am from Ukraine. I have been living abroad for three years. During this time I lived in Europe and now I live in the USA.
I like meeting new people and learning about their lives and traditions. Visiting new places and learning something new for myself. I think my love for traveling has been with me since childhood, since we moved around Ukraine and lived in different cities.
I love nature and sometimes I think I could spend days by the water (probably because I was born near the Black Sea and loved to go there not only in the summer to swim, but also at other times of the year).
I also love creativity: drawing, baking. I like listening to music, mostly classical, Ukrainian, country, mostly depending on my mood or activity.
I am friendly and open person, sensitive but at the same time decisive. I am empathize and insightful to people. Could be shy. I respect other people and wish to be respected.
