I was born in a really small town on the Russian Far East but at 17 I moved to Saint Petersburg to study Art history. Currently, I'm studying at West Virginia University in the US as an exchange student. As an art historian, I love to travel to see different pieces of art and architecture in real life. As a young person, I just amaze, how beautiful and astonishing the world and people can be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really passionate about exploring the world, and for me, the best way to learn about a new place is to meet people who live there and can share such experience even in a short period of time. So with Couchsurfing, you can feel not just like a tourist but like a part of the huge community.
