Description

Hi there!! I arrived in Australia in February and am currently staying in Melbourne until approx. mid-May/early June. I'm hoping to spend the winter completing my 88 days, preferably in Queensland.

I was born in Ukraine, but I'm a bit of a third-culture kid and have lived in multiple countries. After completing my Master's in a big city, I became a bit disillusioned and have been craving a change of pace. I'm pretty adaptable to new places, and I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I'm independent and easy to live with, but I would also love a good conversation and to hear your story.

What makes me happiest is feeling useful, having some structure, learning new skills (currently learning to sing and play guitar!), and connecting with people in a genuine way. I like being outdoors, discovering new environments, and contributing to a place rather than just passing through.

More details about your skills

I’ve lived in several countries, so adapting to new homes, routines and expectations comes naturally to me.

On the practical side, I’m organised, tidy, and comfortable with everyday household tasks. Cleaning, laundry, basic gardening, and general help around the house are all things I’m happy to do. I can care for both cats and dogs from having lived most of my life around them, and am familiar with basic horse care from riding and volunteering at a ranch as a teenager.

I have also worked various service and kitchen gigs during my studies, which made me a pretty adaptable learner. I can work well under pressure, if required.
