Hello. I grew up in Russia, then various states around the USA (mostly Chicago) and then made my way to the east coast to NYC :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and learn more about the place I am traveling to from locals. I've met so many lovely people that I now consider close friends thanks to CS and would like to continue.

Interests

Dancing, visiting museums, meeting new people, trying new foods...I'm really up for anything. Recently got into yoga which is a lot of fun. I was also a belly dancer for many years, stopped for various reasons, but will resume it because I miss it so much! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh man I don't even know. My music tastes are all over the place, book-wise I like Steinbeck and anything beautifully written, and movies are not really my thing but I tend to like surreal and dark comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't even think of one, I had so many. One of the more interesting ones involved riding a camel on Christmas eve.
