Hello! I'm currently in my junior year studying Aerospace Engineering at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. I was born and raised in suburban New Jersey, but have been surrounded by russian family and culture while growing up.
I love to spend a bit of time exploring new places outdoors, and some great hobbies i've picked up while living in the southwest are hiking, snorkeling, and caving! If you're ever in Florida, I highly recommend visiting, swimming, and diving in any of the hundreds of natural springs. As for caving, if you want to get involved, search up the NSS and your local caving 'grottos' for more information.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think its a great idea, and after my brother's couch surfing trip accross Europe, I would like to try it and meet some cool people! I think its one of the best ways to experience any city and really get to know the culture and feelings of every day, local people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've found that I catch up on all the latest movies most often while flying))! One of my absolute favorites is Goonies, such a childhood classic.
