I've lived in New York for the last 5 years and I am taking a long break from my job to travel and see more of the world. I grew up in California and I moved to the U.S. from Ukraine when I was 10. I love meeting new people and enjoy new cultural experiences. I'm a writer by trade, working mostly in advertising and branded content.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be traveling in Europe this year and looking to get to know more of the local culture and have a more authentic experience. I'd like to meet like-minded who live in different countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about advertising and writing, I want to learn how to cook and I want to share interesting stories about travel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Writing expertise or career guidance for those who want to be a professional Copywriter or would like to work in advertising in New York. I can also share my appreciation for wine, yoga, and show them all the best cute cat Instagrams.
