About Me

Unfortunately, I am not able to host at my place at the moment, but I'd love to hang out if you're visiting Toronto, so hmu! Also, will be able to host really soon, so that's exciting!! 😊

I'm fun (at least my friends think so. I think), a bit nerdy, easy to get along with, and super considerate, especially when speaking of others' homes. I watch a lot of stand up comedy, adore cats (I love dogs as well though), may get carried away into linguistics.
UPD: I now do stand-up too 🤪

When I travel, I am usually out all day exploring sites, but I am happy if you want to join )) If you are hosting me, I'll make myself as small as possible it terms of taking up your space, I am neat and respectful.

I truly appreciate all the kind offers to host me for my public trips! But please do not send me requests, if your accommodation is a shared bed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am fairly new to Couchsurfing at this point, but I already love this community! Based on my experience so far, it unites brilliant, open-minded, and travel-enthusiastic people, which sounds just too perfect. I know it sounds cliche, but I really believe that meeting new people it's one of the best things about traveling. I have done some traveling across the U.S. and what I always enjoy most is getting to know new places on a personal level, instead of going for the mainstream tourist spots.
I look for opportunities to meet with people over events and sometimes to stay at places I visit and make new friends.

UPDATE:
It seems some people have different understanding of "open-minded" than mine. For me it means accepting and embracing different cultures, backgrounds, religions, and so on. For me it does not imply any "second option" to couch surfing or intimacy. I am here to meet and share experiences with travelers and make new friends, for other things I can look on tinder or wherever else.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot, so it is always difficult for me to point out what was best, different names come to my head at different times. The ones I will keep coming back to and can read an infinite number of times are Master and Margarita, 1984, and LoTR. I will not even get into movies, I love cinematography and constantly search for something worth adding to the "worthy" shelf. As far as music is concerned, I am really open minded and can enjoy almost any kind in a good company and appropriate setting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've driven for 22 hours straight through a snow storm to get from NY to New Orleans on my Spring break from school. Yes, it was worth it :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great cheerful company and plenty fun stories about my travels :) I will probably bring you something small from Russia.
