Hey!

I'm a 24 year old guy who grew up in Brooklyn in a Russian family, lived in Argentina for 1 year, and just moved to San Francisco to be closer to all the skiing and road biking that I can handle!

I'm likely going to be planning a cross country road / bike trip shortly, and eventually some touring through Eastern Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nothing gets me more excited than hearing the story of a new person I meet. I don't travel only to see beautiful landscapes (patagonia being my favorite), but I travel to speak to local vendors, to learn as much of the language as I can, and to eat anything that is offered to me.

I think that couch surfing is amazing because we underestimate how meaningful new and sudden relationships can be, providing conversations that you could have never imagined, both for hosts and travelers.

I'm currently traveling on the west coast, mainly in California, but will make my way to Eastern Europe and South America again shortly!
