Hi everyone! My name is Kateryna (or Kat for short). I just finished my studies and got my art history degree👯♀️ I work in EdTech, mostly remote, so I can’t wait to travel around the world! I love passionate and ambitious people, philosophy, nature and art. I want to experience more things, so I’m learning to be more open and spontaneous. Also, my apartment is open for anyone who wants to visit Kyiv, Ukraine. I want to share Ukrainian culture with everyone and anyone)
