I don't have any extra sleeping space in my current apartment to host wonderful travelers, but I hope to get an upgrade in the next few months and give back all the Karma I've gathered!

I love Boston more than I like to admit and jump at the opportunity to give historical and cultural tours of the city.

This is the 4th year at Northeastern University's College of Engineering, but in my free time I act in a local Russian Theater (Theater on the Roof - check me out!) and contra/swing dance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I have more time on my hands for travel, I would love to meet new people from all around the USA and the world, and eventually offer up my abode for weary travelers.

Interests

I am passionate about Russian theater, classical art and literature, and history. I totally nerd out over new tech and gadgets, as well as local restaurants and music venues.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Don't know about amazing, but I spent a month alone in Paris crashing at a friend's studio apartment, and had the chance to memorize the entire city and absorb the culture. It was sublime.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always willing to tour the city and give tips on the best spots in town.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great sense of humor, of course! My whimsical stories about the oddities of my crazy Russian family never fail to disappoint. You give me a shower, I'll sing in it.
