I originally came to the U.S. from Ukraine 12 years ago and primarily stayed in the Washington Metropolitan area. I still have family back in Ukraine and I travel to Brussels and Italy to visit my sister's family. I am very open-minded in exploring hobbies - cooking, gardening, abstract painting, playing piano, learning foreign languages, reading, skiing. I am looking for someone who is funny, but at the same time kind, compassionate, romantic and loyal, someone whom I could share the same values with.
