Hi! I'm from Moscow, Russia, currently an exchange student at the University of Minnesota for a year 😄
I major in political science, addicted to coffee and dogs, smile all the time and wish to see the US and travel to national parks and main cities!

I'm planning a trip to the East Coast over the spring break with my friend Ines and we're looking for locals to hangout and places to stay!

We're traveling light, are easygoing and have a lot of fun stories to share!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently studying at the UMN and want to learn more about American culture and meet locals who can help me to adjust and create unique experience! Couchsurfing is an amazing community of open-minded people who are willing to share and exchange experiences.
